German Mettbrötchen (Spiced Raw Pork Sandwich)

The king of German breakfasts, which might be shocking at first: seasoned raw pork (Mett) on a crispy roll. The key is absolute freshness and fat content (max 35%), which makes it creamy. The bite of raw onion and the sweetness of the meat create a perfect balance. Only for the adventurous foodie with access to a trusted butcher!

Instructions

1

Mix the ground pork gently with salt and pepper. Do not overwork it; keep the texture loose.

Tip: The salt acts as seasoning and a mild preservative.
2

Slice the rolls in half and butter them generously.

Tip: The butter creates a barrier so the meat juices don't make the bread soggy.
3

Pile the meat onto the rolls, flatten slightly, and top with finely chopped or sliced onions and parsley.

Tip: Consume immediately!
