500 g Pork (not too fat) 150 g Veal 1/4 ts Finely chopped caraway seed (not ground) 1/4 ts Nutmeg 1/2 ts Marjoram Salt to taste Natural sausage casing, Ca. 1/2" diameter Coarsely chop the pork and veal on a cutting board (should be a bit coarser than ground meat), combine with caraway seed, nutmeg, marjoram and salt. Fill into the carefully cleaned sausage casing; twist casing to form a sausage every 3 1/4". The bratwurst tastes best when browned on all sides over charcoal. Excellent with sauerkraut and a German country style rye bread. As a drink to go with it, a hearty beer is recommended.
