Treat your ingredients with care...
- Regensburger sausages — Ensure that the sausages are fully cooked before serving. You can check their doneness by cutting into one and ensuring there is no pinkness in the center.
- Sauerkraut — Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water before using to remove excess brine and adjust the level of sourness according to your preference.
- Dijon mustard — Use a good quality Dijon mustard for the best flavor in the creamy mustard sauce.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, you can brown the sausages in a separate skillet before adding them to the sauerkraut.
- Serve the dish with a side of warm German potato salad for a complete and authentic German meal.
- If you prefer a spicier mustard sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the creamy mustard sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
Serving advice
Serve the Regensburger Wurst on a plate, placing the sausages on top of a generous portion of sauerkraut. Drizzle the creamy mustard sauce over the sausages and sauerkraut. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, arrange the sausages diagonally on the sauerkraut bed, with the creamy mustard sauce drizzled artistically over them. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika or cracked black pepper on top for an added touch of elegance.
