Anleitung
- 1
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the pork liver and shoulder. Poach for 10-12 minutes, until just cooked through. Drain, cool slightly, and cut into small cubes.
12 minutes
Do not overcook the liver, as it can become dry. Use a thermometer if possible.

In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and diced apple, sautéing until both are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5 minutes
Let the onions turn golden but not brown for the best flavor.
- 3
Combine the cooked meats, onion-apple mixture, marjoram, white pepper, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg in a food processor. Blend until smooth, gradually adding low-fat milk to achieve a creamy, spreadable texture.
3 minutes
For extra smoothness, pass the mixture through a fine sieve after blending.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer the mixture to a small container or ramekin.

Season carefully; authentic Leberwurst is mild, not overly salty.
