Equipment
- Casserole Dish
- Large Pan
- Potato Masher
Ingredients
- 2 carrots diced
- 1 onion finely diced
- 25 oz white cabbage cut into strips
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 14 oz herb cream cheese
- 2 lbs boiled potatoes peeled
- 5 fl oz hot cream
- 1.5 oz soft butter
- 1 tsp grated nutmeg
- 16 Nürnberger Bratwürstchen or the sausage of your choice
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 5.33 oz shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- First peel and boil your potatoes while you prepare the other ingredients. For the cabbage mixture, heat plenty of oil in a large pan and sauté the diced onion and carrots. Add the sliced cabbage and spices to the pan and gently mix everything. Cover the pan with a lid and let simmer 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the stove.
- To make the cream cheese dressing, mix the cream cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and parsley until you get a creamy liquid. Set aside and prepare the potato purée. Mash your boiled potatoes with a potato masher. Add the hot cream, butter, and spices to the potatoes while they are still hot. Mix everything together until a purée has formed.
- Spread the mashed potatoes on the bottom of a heat-resistant casserole dish. Layer the cabbage mixture on top, and then pour the cream cheese dressing over the cabbage. Top with the mozzarella cheese.
- Heat some oil in a pan and add the sausages. Cook until golden brown and add the fresh rosemary leaves. Then place the sausages one after another on top of the cheese in the casserole dish.
- Bake the casserole for 30 minutes at 360°F.
