Krebbles

The combination of ground liver and cornmeal creates a unique texture and taste that pairs well with fried buttered slices, making it an excellent choice for a satisfying, traditional meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the mixture until thick, about 10 minutes.
- Pour into a loaf pan to shape.
- Allow to cool and then slice.
- Fry the slices in butter until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of the krebbles, consider adding herbs like thyme or parsley to the mixture. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend. Make sure to stir continuously while cooking to prevent sticking, and adjust the salt according to your taste preferences. For a unique twist, serve with Plum Dipping Sauce for added depth.
Serving Suggestions
Krebble slices are delicious served hot, garnished with fresh herbs. They pair wonderfully with a side of sautéed greens or a tangy salad. Consider serving them alongside Corn Cob Jelly for a sweet contrast or drizzling with Spicy Lemon Marinade for a zesty kick. They also make an excellent addition to a brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover krebbles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat with a little butter until warmed through and crispy on the outside. Alternatively, you can microwave them, but be aware that they may lose some of their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze krebbles for later use?
Yes, you can freeze krebbles after slicing. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag for longer storage. To reheat, simply fry or bake directly from frozen until heated through and crispy.
What can I serve with krebbles?
Krebble slices are versatile and can be paired with various sides. They go well with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables. For a unique flavor combo, try them with a side of Plum Dipping Sauce or even a creamy dip for added richness.
Is there a vegetarian version of krebbles?
While traditional krebbles use liver puttin, you can create a vegetarian version by substituting the liver puttin with a plant-based spread or a mixture of mashed beans and spices. This will provide a similar texture while keeping the dish vegetarian-friendly.
