    Pumpkin Seed Spread (Kürbiskernaufstrich)

    1. This is so easy! Dry roast the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat if you have a few extra minutes. This step is worth it as it really helps to bring out the nutty flavor in the seeds!

      ½ handful raw pumpkin seeds
    2. Whisk together the cream cheese, garlic and pumpkin seed oil (buy the good stuff from Austria!) until smooth. Add in the chopped pumpkin seeds and work them in with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

      113 grams full-fat cream cheese
      2 Tablespoons pumpkin seed oil
      ½ garlic clove
      salt and pepper to taste

    Bacon Spread (Grammelaufstrich)

    1. In a pan, add 1/4 c of water and the chopped up bacon. Start rendering the grease at medium heat. Adding the water helps to prevent the bacon from burning too fast, leaving you with the desired, lighter colored grease.

      125 grams uncooked bacon
    2. Cook bacon slowly until crispy and brown, then strain it, capturing the grease in a small bowl. Put bowl with grease in freezer for a few minutes to speed up the hardening process if you’re low on time.

    3. Finely chop the cooked bacon along with the onion and garlic, then transfer to a bowl with the parsley.

      1 ½ garlic cloves
      1 Tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley
      ½ small yellow onion
    4. Combine the grease with mustard until smooth, then add it to the onion-bacon mixture. Combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.

      ½ Tablespoon dijon mustard
      salt and pepper to taste

    Assemble the Brettljause

    1. Arrange the dips, meats, cheeses, veggies and any other condiments on one or two serving boards (depending on size), open a bottle of wine and enjoy!

      sliced raw veggies
      slices pickles and eggs
      horseradish
      sliced cheeses and meats
