Deutschländer Tragen Nudelsalat

 

      Literally translated this is German Pasta Salad with Bear Meat.  I used smoked Michigan Black Bear sausage I made this past winter for this meal.  We are nearing the end of Barb's bear meat from last season.

7 ounces spiral pasta (I used Fusilli)

Salt n pepper

1 pound pork sausage or bear meat sausage

7 ounces canned sweet corn 

3-1/2 ounces frozen peas 

7 ounces Edam or Gouda cheese 

2 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 Tbsp mustard

1 diced sweet pickle

3-1/2 ounces half n half

2 Tbsp tomato sauce

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp paprika

2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp parsley

3-1/2 ounces cherry tomatoes

Chives for garnish 

      Cook the pasta al dente in salted water, drain and rinse with cold water.

      Cut sausages on the bias diagonally.  Drain the sweetcorn, blanche the peas, drain and allow to cool.  Cut the cheese into cubes.

      Mix the mayonnaise, half n half, tomato sauce and lemon juice and then season with salt, pepper, paprika and Worcestershire sauce to create a savory mix with the parsley and allow to marinade for about half an hour.  Wash and quarter the tomatoes and arrange them on the plate with the pasta salad.  Delicious.
