Good For:

Lunch

Ingredients

  • 10-12 small sausages (such as Nürnberger Rostbratwurst or Frankfurters)
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5-6 whole peppercorns
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Bread or rolls, for serving

Step 1

In a large pot, combine the white wine vinegar, water, sugar, bay leaf, peppercorns, cloves, and mustard seeds. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 2

Add the sliced onions and carrots to the pot. Let them simmer in the marinade for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 3

Add the small sausages to the pot. Allow them to simmer in the marinade for another 10-15 minutes. The sausages should absorb the flavours of the marinade.

Step 4

Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. The marinade should have a balance of tanginess and sweetness.

Step 5

Once the sausages are heated through and have absorbed some of the marinade’s flavors, remove the pot from heat.

Step 6

Serve the Saure Zipfel hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. The sausages can be served in the marinade or removed and plated separately.

Step 7

Provide bread or rolls on the side to soak up the delicious marinade. Saure Zipfel is a popular dish often enjoyed as a snack or light meal in Germany, especially at festivals and events. It pairs well with a cold beer or a glass of white wine.
