German Liverwurst Dip

Julesong's Note:

For those of us - and I know you're out there! - who really do like liverwurst. I love the stuff! This recipe came from my grandparents.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1.75 cup, ap ...

• 1 cup liverwurst
• ½ cup sour cream or ½ cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons dried mincedonion flakes or ¼ cup fresh minced onion (red onion could be nice)
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
• 1 tablespoon prepared Dijon mustard , to taste
• ¼ teaspoon white pepper
• ¼-½ teaspoon garlic powder , to taste

Directions:

1. Blend the liverwurst and sour cream until smooth and creamy (adding extra sour cream to get to your preferred texture)- a food processor works well for this.
2. Add all the other ingredients, mixing well, then place in serving bowl.
3. Optional: if you want to be really decadent, top it with crumbled bacon.
4. May be served at room temperature or chilled; makes about 1 3/4 cups of dip.
5. Dippers: cucumber, celery, bell pepper strips, radishes, cauliflower, asparagus, cocktail rye bread, lavasch crackers, Wasa, etc.

Yowser! I grew up with this! We used a little horseradish in it. We used minced dill pickles and no sweet relish. No one when I was growing up knew about yogurt so we used sour cream or in a pinch used cottage cheese, mashed. We served with saltine crackers. Thanks for posting! This brought back memories and I will have to make it just for me.!

Perhaps I added a bit too much mayo but this definitely has potential. A family member suggested adding horseradish and I think that would add a nice kick.

This was really quite good, I was afraid that it was too runny as I mixed it in the food processor. But it set up in the fridge overnight. I think it really needs time for the flavours to mingle particularly the onion. I also added some dill as I thought it needed some added depth. Unfortunately my liverwurst wasn't that flavourful; next time I'll make it with a better quality liverwurst!
