Brätchügeli with Peperoni in Gravy
Pane-Bistecca
Brätchügeli are something traditional in Switzerland. For sausage meat, meat is cut with a cutter into very small pieces! Just like meat loaf or sausages! That is why it is called sausage meat in English. In Switzerland, this sausage meat is processed into small balls, which you can then buy as Brätchügeli. I made these sausage balls with peppers in gravy and served them with Spaetzli.
Traditionally they are served in pastetli, Vol-au-vents, like the Lozärner Chügelipastete. I like to serve them with mashed potatoes in a fine sauce, or with spätzli or pasta, or even in soups! This time I served them in a brown sauce with lots of capsicum and with spätzli.
