Hörbich Wildkäsekrainer Sausage
What it is
This is a type of Austrian sausage known as a Käsekrainer. It is made with a blend of pork and beef, and it contains small pieces of cheese, typically Emmental or Gruyère, distributed throughout the meat. The sausage is usually smoked and has a distinctive, slightly tangy flavor from the cheese. It is a popular choice for grilling and pan-frying.
How people cook with it
Käsekrainer are a versatile sausage that can be enjoyed in many ways.
- Grilled on its own
- Served in a bun
- Added to stews
- Pan-fried for breakfast
To cook wildkäsekrainer, you can grill them over medium heat until they are browned and the cheese inside is melted and slightly gooey. Alternatively, they can be pan-fried in a skillet with a little oil or butter. Some people prefer to score the casing before cooking to allow steam to escape and prevent bursting. They are also excellent simmered gently in a flavorful broth or added to hearty dishes like goulash or bean stews, where the melting cheese adds richness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a standard bratwurst or frankfurter, the wildkäsekrainer distinguishes itself with the inclusion of cheese. This cheese melts during cooking, creating pockets of creamy texture and a subtle, nutty flavor that complements the savory meat. The smoking process also imparts a deeper taste compared to unsmoked sausages.
