Karnatzel - Jewish Spicy Beef Sausages

<< Karnatzel, a spicy dish consisting of cigar-shaped ground beef, can be grilled on the BBQ or broiled in the oven. Serve as an appetizer or main course. Tailor the amount of garlic and ‘heat’ to your own preferences. If you love certain spices that are not included on the list of ingredients below, add a pinch or two to suit your taste preferences.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. minced beef, lean (for added flavor, consider using medium ground beef if you are grilling on the BBQ )
  • 2 medium cloves of garlic, minced (about 2 tsp.) or ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper (freshly ground, if possible)
  • Hot paprika or chili powder, to taste (start with 1/8 tsp.)
  • ¼ cup ketchup, beef or chicken broth (to keep the mixture moist and flavorful)
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion or dried minced onion
  • Add a pinch of your favorite herbs or spices, as desired
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Moisten hands with cold water and shape meat into rolls that are cigar-shaped, about 3 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Cook on the grill or in your oven using the broiler. Rotate Karnatzel as they cook, until crisp and browned on all sides. Note: if desired, roll meat into meatballs, cook (reduce time on BBQ or under broiler) and serve for easy appetizers.

Serves: 4-6 as entrée, 8-10 as an appetizer (cut into small slices, serve with mustard, ketchup or your favorite bbq sauce)
