Recipe
Verivorst
Estonian blood sausage with sauerkraut and potatoes.
Ingredients
- Verivorst sausages
- Sauerkraut
- Potatoes
- Lingonberry jam
- Mustard
- Butter
How to make it
- Roast sausages gently until hot and glossy. Bake in a fully preheated oven, usually 190-220C, until the top is golden and the center is hot; start checking after 20 minutes for pastries and after 45 minutes for larger roasts.
- Warm sauerkraut with a little butter. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
- Boil or roast potatoes. Start over medium-high heat until the water or broth is bubbling, then lower to medium or medium-low and cook gently for 10-25 minutes, depending on size, until tender but not falling apart.
- Serve with lingonberry jam and mustard. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
Serving note
Keep the plate simple and let the main texture lead: crisp pastry, tender stew, glossy sauce or fresh garnish. This page is a compact cooking guide, not a long article.
