Käsekrainer, also known as Kranjska Klobasa from Slovenia, is a beechwood-smoked scalded sausage with incorporated pieces of Emmental cheese – the beechwood smoke harmonizes particularly well with the cheese. To ensure the cheese melts without leaking when heated, fry the sausage slowly over medium heat. On the grill, place it at the edge, not directly over the coals – this way, it becomes golden brown on the outside and juicy on the inside, while the cheese remains creamy. Allow about eight to ten minutes and turn it regularly.
Cooking in a pan works just as well: a little oil, medium heat, fry patiently. Käsekrainer is authentically served with mustard and freshly grated horseradish; here, mustard and ketchup are also suitable, optionally sprinkled with a little curry powder. The Käsekrainer hotdog, where the sausage is placed in a hollowed-out piece of white bread, is also popular.Fresh farmhouse bread and crisp onions go well with it, and for those who like it spicy, combine the Krainer with hearty potato salad. Try them at your next barbecue along with other specialties from the Bratwurst assortmentfor an all-round successful result.
