Serving Tip:
This fauxsage is incredibly versatile. Slice it and serve it hot with fresh sauerkraut, steamed potatoes, and a side of spicy mustard for a traditional German feast.
Wine Advice:
When you’re celebrating with a hearty sausage, you need a drink that can keep up! A crisp German Riesling is an excellent choice. Its bright acidity and hint of sweetness will beautifully cut through the richness of the sausage and complement the apple and sage flavors. For a more adventurous pairing, try a Gewürztraminer, with its aromatic, spicy notes that will make every bite a celebration. And of course, a cold wheat beer is always a classic, foolproof option!
