Rinse the knockwurst under cold water. If desired, you can prick the skin of the sausage with a fork to help it release its juices during cooking.
There are several different ways to cook fresh knockwurst. You can boil them, grill them, or pan-fry them.
* To boil knockwurst, bring a pot of water to boil and add the sausages. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through.
* To grill knockwurst, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the sausages for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
* To pan-fry knockwurst, heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
Knockwurst can be served with a variety of sides, such as sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, or bread. You can also add them to soups and stews.
