The recipe and technique for How to Make Leberkase! Of course, nothing is easier than going to a German Butcher or German Deli and buying it... but what if you are in an are where there just isn't one? Also, buying Leberkase can get a bit expensive. My Oma would laugh to think of Leberkase as a gourmet delicacy, but that is how the price seems.

Ingredients
  

  • 600 g 1.32 lbs- Ground Beef
  • 400 g .88 lbs- Ground Pork
  • 100 g .22 lbs Pork Belly or Bacon
  • 1-2 tsp 1 if you use BACON Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp White Ground Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Corn Starch
  • 2 Tbl. Marjoram GO HEAVY, HEAPING.... really this is where the flavor is!
  • 2 Medium Onions
  • 1 tsp. Pink Salt #1 OR Morton's Curing Salt
  • 500 gr. Ice

Instructions
 

  • This now all gets run through a food processor. You can use a blender or hand grinder, but the texture will not be as smooth.
  • 500g of ice is used, dropping a few cubes (3) at a time, to keep the meat cool. I feel the side of the bowl and when it starts to feel like its warming up, I add a few more ice cubes.
  • Note, I like to run mine for at least an hour (each batch). I will stop and take the bowl off the processor and place it in the refrigerator and give the processor a break to cool down. I have a 14 cup Food Processor and all these ingredients will make 2 batches that get processed. I just try to half everything I run through the processor. The more time you give Processing, the more smoother (texture like bologna)
  • I place all the processed batches in a bowl and by hand mixed the 2 batches together. This is where you can add any thing you want; red peppers and or green, chunks of cheese, olives etc. you can be creative. (I used a whole Red Pepper in this one. Each and every one I have made now has been different with what I throw into it.)
  • Put mixture into 2 loaf pans.
  • BAKE AT 350F (180C) DEGREES FOR 40 MINUTES (SUGGESTED), I USUALLY GO NO MORE THAN 1 HOUR

Notes

You can add bits of chopped red pepper for added flavor and a nice red speckle through the loaf.
