Hackepeter, what exactly is it?
For my non German followers, Hackepeter is a pretty popular bread/bun topping.
The original is made with raw minced meat from a pig. Yes, completely raw.
Seasoned with raw onion, salt and pepper.
That's pretty much it. And yes, I loved it.
Except of vegetarians I met in my life, I don't know any person who does not love this.
Very popular for workers at a building site. But also popular in pubs or cafes for breakfast.
Yes,...this mostly is also something we mostly eat for breakfast.
At butchery stores, most of them also offered Hackepeter baguettes to go.
Hackepeter everywhere, haha.
Today, I can not imagine to ever eat it again.
The thought of raw minced meat is just something what does not exist in my mind anymore.
But, from the beginning of turning vegan, this was one German delight, I veganiced straight away.
Because,... the taste of it is great. That is it.
There is a preserved version as well. Called Zwiebelmet (Onion-mince). Also made from raw minced meat.
But preserved to last. The raw version should only be eaten at the same day when made fresh.
The preserved version you get at any supermarket lasts for longer when stored in the fridge.
I have no idea who ever invented this food. I guess it was a Peter, haha.
Just because of the name. I always wondered why Hackepeter and not Hackemichael, or Hackestephan.
No, Hackepeter,... hm... gives me some more thoughts about Peter. Because, the German word for parsley is...
Petersilie! Another Peter,... And Hackepeter with a sprinkle of Petersilie actually is nice, lol.
So, who is this mysterious Peter who seems to have invented Hackepeter and who discovered Petersilie?!
To funny :-))))))))))))
In the vegan community this is a pretty popular topping. In Germany.
I once served that also up for a Fundraiser event I cooked for. We did a Cruise theme.
Or it was a Christmas in July, the German way. I not exactly remember what of both it was.
I cooked a 3 course meal and starters to go with. Finger-food.
And I remember well that the waiters had a lot of fun (my partner and I even more as only native Germans),
to say the word "Hackepeter". I thought this delicious topping is a great starter on small baguettes.
And I remember the guests really liked it. Nothing was left on the plates! Around 70 people were happy :-)
Most recipes call for rice waffle with this recipe. You sure can use plain rice cakes.
A couple of month ago my organic store offered Buckwheat cakes. I gave them a go.
And I actually like it with the buckwheat cakes better.
But both options are good to go.
To make one jar of Hackepeter you will need:
55g Buckwheat cakes/waffles - crumbled up*
140g raw onion - chopped up
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp coconut amino sauce
1 tsp sweet paprika powder
1/8 tsp nutmeg powder
1/8 tsp cardamon powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
approx. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp fine grated pink salt ***
20g capers - chopped up
10g mustard
15g tomato paste
10ml (2tsp) lemon juice
1/4 tsp coconut sugar
15ml cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
300ml filtered water
***go with 1/4 first and see how you like it. If you like it more salty, go with more.
* check on the picture at the end of the recipe.
Directions:
1. crumble up the buckwheat or rice cakes into a bowl.
Also add the spices.
2. take half of the onion and add to the buckwheat in the bowl.
The other half, heat a small splash of olive oil into a frying pan,
add the onion with some 1/2 tsp caraway seeds,
and fry until browned and aromatic.
Set a side.
3. Add mustard, tomato paste, olive oil, lemon juice and water into a bowl and mix well.
4. add the fried onion to the bowl, mix all well and add the liquid part.
Mix well and add to a bowl.
Cover with a lid and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
You best make it in the morning and enjoy for dinner.
Or make it one day ahead.
Tip: if you feel ok with vinegar, add a small splash of the caper water as well!
And if you are in a detox program,... don't worry about the small amount of mustard in the recipe.
I would not leave it out. Remember, the program says to stay away from excessive vinegar consumption.
And this very small amount of mustard in the recipe contains such a small amount of vinegar,
it is not even worth to mention it. This is not excessive vinegar use.
