Verhackert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verhackert with onions and bread

Verhackert is an Austrian spread made out of chopped bacon, minced garlic and salt.[1] It bears similarities to bacon jam, a bacon-based relish which includes sugar unlike verhackert. The spread was invented in Styria, Austria and is usually served cold on thick slices of bread.[2]

Recipe

[edit]

Verhackert is typically made with chopped speck or bacon which is mixed with minced garlic and pumpkin seed oil.[3] The speck goes through a process of salt-curing and cold-smoking before being prepared as verhackert.[4]
