MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Braunschweiger (Homemade Liverwurst) Categories: Pork, Offal, Sausages Yield: 2 Loaves 2 lb Lean pork 1 lb Pork fat 1 1/4 lb Pork liver 1 md Onion; chopped 2 tb Salt 2 ts Cloves 1 ts Black pepper 1/2 ts Allspice 1/2 ts Nutmeg Its origin is Braunschweig, in the Brunswick province of Germany. As with any pate, flavor improves with a day or two of aging, and if you have a smoker, a light smoking. You can stuff the pate into pork or beef casings, tie them with string in 8 to 12" lengths, and adjust the stuffing in order to leave a good 2" at the end of each length for expansion. Simmer the links about 45 minutes in a pot of water, then dip them in cold water to keep the fat from settling along the bottom. If you have no casings, bake the pork pate in a loaf pan, as you would a French pate. You can either serve it in slices or use it as a creamy spread. If you use a processor for grinding, cut the pork, pork fat, and liver into cubes and freeze for an hour or two, so that they will process without mushing. Saute the onion in a little pork fat or butter until it is soft. Sprinkle with the spices to warm them, then add the mixture to the pork and process until you have a smooth puree. Pack the puree into an earthenware baking dish or two (9x5") loaf pans and cover tightly with foil. Put the dish in a pan with 1 to 2" of boiling water and bake at 300°F/150°C until meat is cooked but not browned (meat thermometer should read 160 to 165°F), about 2 hours. Remove baking dish from the pan of water and let pate cool in the dish. Refrigerate 1 to 2 days before using. MMMMM
