Sizzling Europe

A well known traditional sausage in Sweden, falukorv simply means sausage from falun. It is made in the 16^th and 17^th centuries in the copper mine of Falun. This is the place where the ox hide was formerly used for wires and some of the meats that were left were then used for sausages.

The meat was then smoked and salted. The falukorv sausage was based on the Lyoner sausage and then the recipe was created with the Germans who were working in the mine. It was in the 19^th century when the tradition of preparing the meat was revitalized by Anders Olsson, a butcher whose great initiative had led to the development of the modern Falukorv. This modern falukorv is said to have a good mixture of prok and beef.

The sausage is currently known as among the most popular dishes in the country. The typical falurkorv meals include sliced and fried elbow macaroni, sliced and fried with Swedish brown beans and fried egg, gratinated whole in the oven with cheese and mustard and a lot more.
