Weiβe Zungenwurst (White Tongue Sausage)

The filling of White Tongue Sausage (Weiβe Zungenwurst) should be made as white as possible that is why light colored uncured meat and milk are used. Vegetables provide flavor and aroma and red cubes of cured tongue (show meat) offer strong contrast against white sausage mass.

Notes
* curing tongues. Make 40° Salometer brine (10° Baume): 1 gal water, 333 g (0.73 lb) salt, Cure #1, 120 g (4.2 oz). About 3/4 quart of brine is needed for 1 kg of meat. Inject some brine into tongues so they gain about 10% of their original gain and then place them in brine in a suitable container. Hold them completely submerged for 72 hours. Remove the skin from the tongues, then slice them into thick discs. Boil the tongues at 90° C (194° F) for about 2 hours. Cool the tongues under running water.
** greens extract. Chop one celery root, one carrot, one onion, one leek and a bunch of parsley. Fry briefly in butter until golden, then add some full milk and simmer until soft. Strain through a fine sieve and save the liquid.
Curing and boiling tongues not included in preparation time.
