Debrecener

A debrecener (debreceni) is a pork sausage of uniform fine texture and reddish-orange colour, named after the Hungarian city of Debrecen. Debreceni are heavily spiced with paprika and other seasonings like garlic, pepper and marjoram. They are usually unsmoked and sold in pairs conjoined at one end. Traditional cooking technique calls for the Debreceni to be transversely slashed at intervals and baked, broiled, or fried. The sausage tends to curl away from the slashes, creating a linked series of sausage coins.
