Provided by Bruce Aidells

Yield Makes 12 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds boneless country-style pork spareribs, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/3 pound pork fat, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup lager beer, divided
Beer and Horseradish Mustard
Purchased soft pretzels, pretzel rolls, or rye bread

Steps:

Place pork sparerib cubes and pork fat in freezer until partially frozen, about 30 minutes. Place half of pork and half of pork fat in processor. Using on/off turns, blend mixture until finely ground. Transfer mixture to bowl. Repeat with remaining pork and pork fat. Gently mix sage and next 5 ingredients into ground pork mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup beer. Cover and chill overnight.
Form pork mixture by tablespoonfuls into 1 1/4-to 1 1/2-inch-diameter patties; place on baking sheet. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, add sausage patties to skillet and cook until browned on bottom, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup beer to skillet; cover with lid slightly ajar and cook until beer evaporates, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn patties over and cook until brown on bottom and cooked through, about 5 minutes longer.
Transfer sausage patties to platter. Serve with Beer and Horseradish Mustard and soft pretzels.

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup lager beer, divided
2/3 cup malt vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/3 cup whole brown mustard seeds* (about 2.2 ounces)
2 tablespoons dry mustard (such as Colman's)
1/4 cup prepared white horseradish
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds, finely ground in mortar with pestle or in spice mill
2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

Whisk 1/2 cup beer, malt vinegar, mustard seeds, and dry mustard to blend in small bowl. Let mixture stand at room temperature 3 hours.
Transfer beer-and-mustard-seed mixture to blender; add remaining 1/2 cup beer, horseradish, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, honey, and ground caraway seeds; blend until coarse puree forms. Transfer mixture to medium metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water and whisk often until mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes (mixture will be thinner and more sauce-like than store-bought mustard). Transfer mustard to small saucepan and add cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water; whisk over medium-high heat until mustard thickens and boils, about 2 minutes. Transfer mustard to airtight container. Cover and chill until cold. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled.
