Grain sausage

Club power
Approx. one cup of wholemeal
Potatoes

Leftover cooked salted meat

Soak the grits overnight and cook them until tender in the club soda. Cut up any leftover salt meat and add it. Crush the cooked potatoes with a fork or grate them raw. Add them and simmer until they even out. Add finely chopped onion. The semolina sausage can be served for dinner, breakfast or supper.

Club and dab

C.a 2 kg of raw potatoes
450-500 g barley flour
3 tsp salt
Power from salted meat

Make the club soda in the same way as for the buttermilk and leave it to stand for a while. Make buns and boil them in the stock from salted meat or salted knuckle. Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes. Serve with a dollop of fresh butter.

Raspeballs

Grate the potatoes. Strain off the water. Add the potato flour to the bottom and mix with salt and flour. Make sure the dough is not too hard. Add fried pork pieces to the dough. Cook for about 1 hour in salted water or stock.
