What it is
A traditional Czech sausage made from ground pork meat, pork liver, and spices (like marjoram), encased in natural casing. It's typically pan-fried or baked until heated through and slightly browned. This specific type of sausage often omits grains found in other sausages like jelítko.
Key ingredients
Pork meat, pork liver, pork fat, onions, garlic, marjoram, pepper, salt, natural casing.
Optional tweaks
Verify no added fillers like breadcrumbs or groats (which is typical for *jitrnice* vs. *jelítko*). Request no bread or potatoes on the side; ask for mustard and horseradish.
Say this to the waiter (Czech)
Můžete mi prosím potvrdit, že Jitrnice neobsahuje strouhanku nebo kroupy? A prosím bez pečiva a brambor, jen s hořčicí a křenem.
Can you confirm the Jitrnice has no breadcrumbs or groats? And please, no bread or potatoes, just mustard and horseradish.
Watch out for
Some versions might contain a small amount of rice or groats as filler, especially in mass-produced or lower-quality versions. Always served with high-carb sides (bread/potatoes).
