Instructions

  1. Cut the meat and bacon into pieces, then put them in the freezer for 20 minutes so they stay nice and cold.
  2. Pass the meat and bacon through the mincer with a medium plate, then add the crushed garlic, marjoram, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  3. Knead the mixture for 3 minutes, gradually adding the ice-cold water, until you have a well-bound filling.
  4. Rinse the casings in lukewarm water, then fill them with the mixture using a funnel, without packing too tightly.
  5. Shape the sausages by twisting the casing every 12 to 15 cm, then gently prick them with a needle to release the air.
  6. Grill the bratwursts over medium heat for 15 to 18 minutes, turning them, until golden and cooked through. Serve with the bread rolls.

Variations and tips

Without casings. Shape the filling into patties and cook them in a pan, without casings.
