Zwiwwelschmeer

Zwiwwelschmeer

With Zwiwwelschmeer — literally “onion grease” — the name says it all: it’s a glorious mess, in every sense of the word — hearty, rustic, and incredibly delicious. I like to call it the Saarbrücken Dip, best enjoyed with thick slices of fresh farmhouse bread. Just writing about it makes my mouth water.

Ingredients

  • 4 onions
  • 300 g minced meat
  • 200 g coarse liver sausage
  • 250 ml strong beef stock or broth
  • Fresh farmhouse bread
  • Salt, pepper, marjoram, and a little oil

Preparation of Zwiwwelschmeer

First, dice the onions and cut the liver sausage into thick slices. Heat a frying pan with a little oil and brown the minced meat until crumbly. Add the diced onions, cover, and let them steam for a while — stirring occasionally.

Once the onions turn translucent and begin to soften, add the broth, liver sausage, and a pinch of marjoram. Let everything simmer down, stirring occasionally, until the liver sausage has completely dissolved and the mixture thickens into a rich, creamy consistency.

Finally, season with salt and pepper, serve, and enjoy with fresh bread. And honestly — it tastes even better when no one’s watching and you can dip straight into the pan like a true local!
