Wäinzoossiss mat Moschterzooss
Sausage with potato purée and mustard sauce, prepared by chef Fränk Manes
A traditional Luxembourgish dish
A traditional Luxembourgish dish of pan-fried sausages. “Wäinzoossiss” in the name of the dish translates as “wine sausage” and harks back to the days when wine was used in sausages to preserve them. This is no longer necessary, and today the sausages don’t contain any wine. The crispy sausages are served with hearty mashed potatoes and a signature mustard sauce. A true classic of Luxembourgish cuisine that is simple and tasty in equal measure.
Ingredients

- 8 pieces of Wäinzoossiss (Luxembourgish sausage) or any other sausage

- 2 tbsp old style whole grain Dijon mustard
