My Wurstler Group (5 guys getting together and make Wurst) agree, this is a top of the line Wurst Loaf.
Original recipe is from the Butcher who used to be across the street in the Bavarian town I grew up in.
Last time I found a way to make this great Loaf even better!! See Note Below!
Ingredients:
- 4 lbs Lean Pork Cubes cut into 1 inch Cubes (Pork Sirloin Pieces)
- 4½ g Pink Cure
- 22 g Salt
- 10 lbs Pork Shoulder Butts, trimmed & ground (fine plate)
- 11¼ g Pink Cure
- 55 g Salt
- 25 g Seasoning Premix
- 14 g Sugar
- 14 g Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Maggi Liquid Seasoning
- 1 cup Fresh Onion, diced
- 1 each Green and Red Pepper
Directions:
Day 1:
Coat the pork cubes with the smaller amounts of pink cure and salt and refrigerate overnight.
Day2:
Place ground meat in a bowl.
Clean Peppers, slice into thin strips and set aside.
Weigh all seasoning and dissolve in about 1 quart ice-cold water.
Combine the seasoning with the meat and knead thoroughly – until it binds.
Knead in the meat cubes, peppers and onion.
Transfer into commercial loaf pans (7 pounds each) and bake at low temperature (250°F) for about 3 hours.
Check temperature with a meat thermometer, the loaf is done when the inside temperature is at 155°F.
Can also be divided and transferred to 2 pound aluminum loaf pans for smaller loaves; wrapped and frozen. Adjust cooking time accordingly!
Great to even Better:
Cure double the amount of Lean Meat Cubes and fold them into the original amount of Ground Meat!
