While being stuck inside Saturday, I decided to try this. It's a combination of 2 recipes.
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
8 cups water
2 1/2 cups steel cut oatmeal
1 cup onion, minced
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried sage
1/4 tsp dried thyme
In a large pot with a lid, boil the water, add salt, pepper and oatmeal. Cover and let cook for two hours, stirring often.
Add the meat, onion and bay leaves. Mix well. Cook for another hour, stirring often. Remove bay leaf.
Pour into bread pans (size doesn't matter).
Refrigerate overnight.
To serve: Slice the goetta and fry it until crispy or just until heated through. Goetta may be served with pancakes and eggs, on sandwiches or in place of meat at dinner.
Didn't follow the recipe exactly. You won't boil the oats for 2 hours, trust me. Boiled everything until you couldn't possibly get anymore moisture out of it and poured it into 2 buttered loaf pans. Chilled overnight.
Sunday morning it came out of the pan fairly easily. Fried a couple slices in bacon grease along with a couple eggs and a cheesy Bisquick biscuit. Also fried a couple slices for a sammie in today's lunch pail. Not bad.
