Liver wurst Fondue

1/2 cup butter (125 gr)
2/3 cup minced onions
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1+1/4 cups milk (300 ml)
2/3 cup cream (165 ml) recipe doesn't specify what kind of cream
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1/4 lb liverwurst (125 gr)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup dry sherry (65 ml)
French bread, cut into cubes to serve

1. Melt the butter in a ceramic or earthenware fondue pot. I would usually use my enameled cast iron pot.
2. Sauté the onions and garlic in the butter until soft. (don't burn them!)
3. Sprinkle on the flour, mix well & cook over a low heat for two minutes. Remove from the heat.
4. Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. Return to the heat and cook until thick.
5. Mix the cream with the tomato paste and liverwurst. Blend into the onion white sauce.
6. Add the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, Parmesan cheese and sherry. Mix well and cook over a low heat for five minutes, stirring frequently.
7. Serve with the French bread.


Caveat! I have never made this but it does interest me. Seems a bit rich, will I ever try it? maybe.
If anyone does, Please post!! Along with a Yea or Nay!! and/or suggestions.
 
I saw the thread title, and wondered if this was a joke. Liver wurst fondu? :ROFLMAO:

As for yea or nay, I gotta' go with nay, but I don't like liver wurst.

That caught my eye, because I'm another liverwurst/Braunschweiger lover. I'm making another loaf or rye bread today, mainly for the pound of Braunschweiger I have in the fridge! When Aldi has a deal on it, I can't pass it up, though even their regular price is better than anyone else, and that Braunschweiger they have comes from Germany, and has the best flavor!

I like the idea, but the amount of liverwurst seems small, and I'd have to have some more flavorful bread, rather than the French.
 
I probably would call it liverwurst sauce...
Or roux
But thats just because it doesnt tally with my idea of fondue.

Anyway, looks very rich to me

I wonder if it is a regional thing. All my family from Jersey love it. Maybe I didn't live there long enough. :ROFLMAO:

liverwurst fondue? . . . not at all appealing . . .
I'll stick with cheese.

Its also a midwest thing, where loads of folks of German descent live.

We ate it all the time when I was a kid in Minneapolis. I loved it! That and stinky cheese -- thanks, parents!

I havent had it forever though ...

Central Texas has a large German community (Austin to Northwest Houston). They gave us Texas BBQ and Chicken Fried Steak. Lots of beef sausages, too, but I don't recall liverwurst being a big thing.

Not something I eat anymore, but as a Wisconsin kid I ate many liverwurst (aka braunschweiger) and mustard sandwiches growing up.

It originated in the German town of Braunschweig (Brunswick).
