So gelingt Schlachtplatte

Warum hier beginnen

Schlachtplatte is cooked the way Franconia and Bavaria cooks it — butter or clarified butter used without fuss, salt judged by hand, and no apology for a second helping. This is the home version, written down the way a German family cook actually puts it on the table.

Schlachtplatte, a robust platter of meats, hails from the hearty kitchens of Franconia and Bavaria. It's the kind of meal that appears on the table in the chill of autumn or winter, when the air is crisp, and families gather indoors to share warmth and sustenance. Traditionally, this dish is a celebration of the pig slaughter, bringing together a rich variety of sausages and sides that reflect the region's culinary roots. Expect a satisfying medley of flavors and textures: the smooth richness of Blutwurst and Leberwurst, the savory bite of Bratwurst, all nestled against tangy sauerkraut and creamy mashed potatoes. The lard and a discerning pinch of fine sea salt unite these elements, creating a dish that is as comforting as it is flavorful. It’s a generous helping of home-cooked German tradition, unapologetically inviting you to savor every bite.
