Estonian Blood Sausage
Verivorst is a traditional Estonian blood sausage, a hearty dish typically enjoyed during the winter months, especially around Christmas. It's made from a mixture of pork blood, barley, pork fat, and spices, encased in pig intestines.
🧂 Υλικά
- 2 L Fresh pork blood
- 500 g Barley(pearl barley)
- 500 g Onions(finely chopped)
- 500 g Fatback (pork fat)(cut into small pieces)

👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Soak the barley overnight in plenty of water. The next day, drain the barley and boil it in salted water until tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain and let cool.

In a large pan, sauté the finely chopped onions with the diced fatback over medium heat until the onions are golden brown and the fatback is rendered.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked barley, sautéed onion and fatback mixture, fresh pork blood, salt, pepper, marjoram, and allspice. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Clean the pig intestines thoroughly under running water. Using a sausage stuffer or a funnel, carefully fill the cleaned intestines with the blood and barley mixture. Tie off each sausage link securely, being careful not to overfill, as the mixture will expand during cooking.
- 5
Gently boil the filled sausages in water for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are firm and fully cooked through. Do not boil rapidly, as this can cause the sausages to burst.

After boiling, the verivorst can be served immediately, or it can be smoked or baked in an oven until the skin is crispy. Traditionally, it's served with sauerkraut, boiled potatoes, or lingonberry jam.
