Kitchen know-how

Tips for Nuremberg grilled sausages with sauerkraut

Do not bite sausages

The thin shell holds fat and meat juice inside. Insertions let both run into the pan and make Nuremberg grill grate sausages drier.

Brown all around at medium heat

The small sausages often turn around so that they get even colour. Very strong heat blackens the shell before the middle is completely hot.

Sauerkraut gently stew

The herb should become soft and absorb the aromas of apple, juniper and bay leaf. Heavy cooking allows liquid to evaporate too quickly.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Place three fried Nurembergers in an elongated bun and serve with mustard. Sauerkraut can be added as a small insert or side dish.

Replace lard with rapeseed oil and add an additional acidic apple. Fry the sausages separately, leaving the herb lighter and more fruity.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Nuremberg grilled sausages with sauerkraut

They are small, fine to medium-sized and traditionally seasoned with marjoram. The protected designation is subject to specifications of origin, size and production.

As a main dish with sauerkraut are usually four to six small sausages per person appropriate. In the bun traditionally three pieces are served.

Both methods work. Use indirect zones on the grill; in the pan select little fat and medium heat so that the thin shell does not burn.

Heat cooled sausages over a small heat covered with a spoon of water and brown briefly at the end. Repeated strong roasting dries them out.
