What You’ll Need
- Wurstels – 4 or more, depending on servings
- Water – enough to submerge the wurstels
- Salt – 1 tablespoon
- Pepper – 1 teaspoon
- Mustard or Sauerkraut – for serving (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Wurstels
Start by removing the wurstels from their packaging. Rinse them under cold water to get rid of any excess juices or preservatives. Pat dry the wurstels using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to ensure they are completely dry.
Step 2: Boil the Water
Take a large pot and fill it with enough water to submerge the wurstels completely. Add salt (1 tablespoon) and pepper (1 teaspoon) to the water. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Step 3: Add and Cook the Wurstels
Once the water is boiling, gently submerge the wurstels into the pot using tongs. Be cautious while doing this to avoid any splashing of hot water. Allow the wurstels to cook in the boiling water for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fully heated through.
Step 4: Remove and Serve
After the desired cooking time, carefully remove the cooked wurstels from the pot, again using tongs. Place the boiled wurstels on a serving dish or a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 5: Serving Suggestions
Boiled wurstels can be enjoyed on their own or served with a variety of condiments. For a classic pairing, serve mustard and sauerkraut alongside. If you prefer a heartier meal, consider accompanying the wurstels with mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables for a well-rounded dish.
