Method
-
In a large bowl, mix 50g soured cream with 2 tsp sauerkraut liquid; season with black pepper. Toss the sliced cucumber in the soured cream, then transfer to a serving bowl and chill up to 2 hrs ahead.
-
Set aside 1 tbsp green spring onion slices. Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the remaining spring onions over a medium-high heat for 5 mins or until well browned. Set aside.
-
Gently fry the sausages in the pan over a medium heat (adding 1 tsp oil if the pan is dry) for 15 mins until golden. Transfer to a plate and slice.
-
Put the remaining soured cream in a bowl and stir in 1 tbsp mustard and the fried spring onions. Spoon the sauerkraut into another bowl.
-
Scatter the reserved spring onion greens over the cucumber salad and cut the remaining cucumber into batons. Serve everything together with the pretzels, rye bread and salami.
Tip: You can use a hotter mustard, like Dijon, on the side to contrast the mellow soured cream.
