BRAUNSCHWEIGER SANDWICH



Braunschweiger Sandwich image

Braunschweiger is a polarizing food. Haute cuisine, it's not. But you'll find it in lunch boxes all over town. Advocates love it, critics diss it, and many uninitiated young souls haven't a clue what it is.

BRAUNSCHWEIGER SPREAD

I love braunschweiger. I remember my dad used to love a braunschweiger sandwich with lettuce and onion. As a kid I liked them as well and still do. I don't eat it often but every once in a while I want some. Made the spread today. I usually like it on crackers. But sometimes a half sandwich with some milk-sweetened onion slices...

Steps:

  • 1. Mix equal parts room temperature braunschweiger and cream cheese until well combined.
  • 2. Add in salt, pepper and onion powder to taste. Mix again.
  • 3. Serve on crackers, toasted baguette slices or use as a sandwich spread. Done and done!

BRAUNSCHWEIGER BANH MI



Braunschweiger Banh Mi image

In this Midwestern take on a banh mi, we've sandwiched as many up-and-coming food trends as we could manage without violating good taste. We stuffed vegetables, wood flavor, bitterness, real fast food and the Midwest (represented by fried pork, wood-smoked Braunschweiger liverwurst and caraway) into a grand banh mi mash-up. Now if only we could nab it from a passing dim sum cart in a gastropub, our year would be close to complete. If 2014 tastes anything like this sandwich, it'll be an adventuresome and comforting year ahead.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 cup cauliflower florets
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds, lightly crushed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small carrot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
1/2 small jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced
4 thin boneless pork cutlets (about 8 ounces total), pounded to 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Two 12-inch baguettes
Mayonnaise, such as Kewpie, for serving
Spicy brown mustard, for serving
1/2 pound braunschweiger liverwurst
1/2 English cucumber, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 small bunch watercress
1 cup loosely-packed fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
Sriracha, for serving

Steps:

  • For the caraway pickled cauliflower: Cut the florets into 1/4-inch-thick slices. It's alright if the pieces break apart. Combine the vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, 1/3 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat, add the cauliflower and carrot and stir. Allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • For the garlic fish sauce: Whisk together the fish sauce, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, garlic, jalapeno and 2 teaspoons water in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • For the fried pork cutlets: Lightly sprinkle the cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, dusting off any excess. Then dip in the egg and, finally, coat with the breadcrumbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, fry two cutlets until browned, crispy and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • For the sandwiches: Trim and discard the bread heels from the baguettes. Halve each so you have a total of four 6-inch pieces. Split each piece lengthwise about 3/4 of the way and press it open like a book. Generously spread the top halves with mayonnaise and the bottom halves with mustard and liverwurst. Arrange the baguettes on a baking sheet and bake until warm, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Top the bottom half of each baguette with a pork cutlet (halve the cutlets for fit, if necessary) and some of the cucumber, onion, caraway-pickled cauliflower, watercress and cilantro. Top each with a drizzle of garlic fish sauce and a squirt of Sriracha and serve.

OPEN FACED BRAUNSCHWEIGER MELTS



Open Faced Braunschweiger Melts image

My Mom used to make these for us during tomato season in the summertime (way back in the 70's). Even though the combination of ingredients sounds weird, the flavors really blend well into an awesome taste sensation that I am totally addicted to, even after all these years. I LOVE this stuff! (Unbelievably quick and easy, too.) :)
