Suelze, (Sülze)

Souse extra lean or Head Cheese without the head and cheese

Ingredients:

Day 1:

Cut 10# Pork Sirloin into 1 inch cubes.

Combine Salt and DQ Cure and mix together with the meat. The cure salt mix will change the color of the meat, that is normal.

Refrigerate over night.

Day 2:

Transfer the cured meat into a large stock pot, cover with water and add the piece of onion.

Bring to a boil and simmer, till meat can be shredded easily.

Remove onion and transfer meat to a large bowl. Reserve the liquid the meat was cooked in.

Shred meat while hot. A rubber glove with a cotton glove liner works well for this.

Mix in the diced raw onion.

Add water to the  reserved liquid to equal 7# and bring back to a boil, while adding Caraway, Nutmeg, Black Pepper, Essig Essence and Maggi Liquid. Turn off heat and stir in Gelatin.

Split meat into containers and fill up with the gelatin water (½ Meat to ½ Liquid).

Take a spoon, stir up the mix and refrigerate, till completely solid.

To serve, flip the suelze out of the container onto a plate, surround with diced onions and garnish with a sprig of Parsley.

Cut and enjoy with a nice double crusted German Rye Bread and a cool Lager Beer.

For extra zest more white wine vinegar can be added when serving.
