Braunschweiger

EverydayCooked

Braunschweiger is a German-style liver sausage traditionally made from finely ground pork liver, pork fat, and seasonings, then smoked for distinctive flavor. This spreadable sausage has a rich, earthy taste and smooth pâté-like texture, offering exceptionally high levels of iron and vitamin A from its liver content. While nutrient-dense, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, and is typically served chilled as a sandwich spread or charcuterie component, often paired with sharp condiments like mustard to balance its intensity.
