Wildly smoked!

Game meat and smoke flavors are two brilliant team players for gourmets. Meat enjoyment cannot be more natural and of higher quality when the meat comes from regional, sustainable hunting. This is because the natural cycle remains closed: game meat comes directly from nature on your doorstep, is hunted in local hunting grounds and from there reaches the local consumer. Refined with smoke flavors in the BBQ smoker, an honest gourmet product ends up on the plate.

BBQ-suitable smokers
Smoking is a common method of preserving food such as meat and fish. It also gives them a special taste and character. Modern BBQ smokers produce the smoke using a smoke generator that uses a gas burner or an electric heating coil to make smoking powder or wood chips glow. They often have an electronically adjustable temperature range that allows cold, warm and hot smoking. The smoking process in these ovens is very even and without temperature peaks.

Recipe for "Wild Boar Bratwurst" by Markus Heusel

Ingredients:

• 650 g lean wild boar meat
• 200 g pork belly
• 150 g back fat
• 18 g salt
• 3 g pepper
• 1 g mace
• 1 g ginger
• ½ g cardamom
• ½ g allspice
• Pig intestine or sheep casing

Preparation:

Grind the meat through the 5 mm disk of the meat grinder and then knead it together with the spices in the food processor until it is cohesive. This can take up to 10 minutes. If a layer of fat forms on the side of the bowl, then the sausage mixture is cohesive.

Using a stuffer, fill everything into pork intestines or sheep casings and leave to dry for 12 hours. The sausages can then be frozen raw. Or you can boil them in salt water at around 80°C for around 10 minutes. This will extend their shelf life.
