Balkenbrij Liver Sausage
Balkenbrij is a traditional dish originating from the Netherlands, particularly popular in the Gelderland region. Its name comes from Dutch and refers to a type of meatloaf made primarily from liver and other organs, mixed with buckwheat flour to achieve a thick texture. In Latin America, although it is not very well known by this name, similar preparations can be found under various names, such as liver blood sausage in some countries, or traditional sausages based on liver that take on European influences. The recipe has been passed down from generation to generation and reflects the importance of making the most of ingredients. In regions where it is consumed, it is a seasonal dish and is usually accompanied by sweet or savory ingredients, demonstrating its versatility and unique flavor.
