Grünkohl mit Wurst, Zwiebeln & Speck

Cultural Context

Grünkohl mit Wurst is a traditional German dish, particularly popular in the northern regions during the winter months. It is often enjoyed during the Grünkohlfahrt, a festive outing where friends gather to eat kale and drink schnapps. This hearty dish reflects the German love for seasonal, rustic ingredients and is a comforting meal that warms the soul during cold weather. Today, variations exist across Germany, with each region adding its unique twist to the recipe.

1

Wash the grünkohl thoroughly at least twice to remove dirt.

2

Remove any tough stems from the grünkohl if necessary.

3

Place half of the grünkohl into a large pot and cover it to blanch until it wilts, about 2 minutes.

4

Drain the grünkohl in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

5

Chop the onions into half rings.

6

In the same large pot, heat butter fat and add the bauchspeck, cooking until it becomes translucent and releases some fat.

7

Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until they are glassy.

8

Chop the blanched grünkohl into smaller pieces and add it to the pot with the onions and speck.

9

Pour in the vegetable broth until the grünkohl is just covered.

10

Add mustard and a small amount of sugar, then stir everything together.

11

Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for 45 minutes.

12

After 45 minutes, add oat flakes to thicken the mixture.

13

Add the smoked sausages to the pot and cover again, letting it simmer for another 30 minutes.

14

Check the consistency; it should be thick but not dry, with a little liquid remaining.
