Carrots with Mettenden and Kasseler

Ingredients for 8 servings:

• 1 kg potatoes, floury
• 1 kg carrot(s)
• 3 spring onions
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• 8 Mettenden, approx. 600 g
• Kasseler (neck or Kasseler salmon), 1 large piece
• 500 ml vegetable stock
• Butter or margarine, approx. 25 – 30 g

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

Clean, peel, and dice the potatoes and carrots. Clean and slice the spring onions. Slice one of the Mettenden sausages. Melt the margarine or butter in a large pot, brown the potatoes, carrots, and sausage on all sides, and add the sugar. Stir everything again, pour in the broth, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pierce the remaining Mettenden sausages several times with a fork and add them about 10 minutes before the potatoes and carrots are tender. Place the smoked pork on top. When the vegetables are tender, remove the sausages and smoked pork. Mash everything thoroughly, leaving some pieces. Chop the sausages and return them to the pot, along with the spring onions. Let everything stand for a moment so the spring onions cook a little longer. Slice the smoked pork and serve separately. It tastes twice as delicious the next day.
