🇩🇪 Germany recipe

Bratwurst

The bratwurst is the soul of German grilling culture. Originating in Thuringia and Franconia, this seasoned pork sausage has been a staple since the 1300s. A proper bratwurst features coarsely ground pork seasoned with marjoram, caraway, white pepper, and nutmeg, stuffed into natural hog casings and grilled over charcoal until the skin is taut and crackles with each bite.
