It’s cold in Europe. The perfect time for delicious, warm and hearty food. 

The Berghotel Rehlegg is located in the Alps and therefore has a lot of experience with how best to warm up in such weather. Their recommendation: a juicy roast pork.

Since 2015, the Berghotel Rehlegg has its own pigs bred. At the organic farmer with which the hotel cooperates, the animals are kept outside and species-appropriate and supplied only with the farm’s own feed. Good meat is the basic requirement for a good roast pork. It’s best to buy it from the butcher you trust.

Ingredients

  

• 2,5 kg Pork shoulder with rind

Seasoning

• 1 tsp Caraway
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 tsp Mugwort
• Garlic
• Paprika Powder

Vegetable Garnish

• 1 Onion
• 1 Carrot
• 1 piece Celeriac

Instructions

 

• Start by slicing the onion and then place it under the pork in a large pot (make sure the rind of the meat is facing down). Pour boiling water over everything before adding the rest of the vegetables. Then you can simmer everything for an hour on low heat.
• Now preheat the oven at about 130 ° Celsius. Cut the rind in a diamond shape. Season the meat well with salt and pepper. Note: Do not pour away the cooking liquid, you will need it later for the sauce.
• Now the roast goes into the oven for a total of 2.5 hours. During the last 15-20 minutes, the most important thing is to take the roast out of the oven and make the sauce. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 220° to 230° Celsius. Now put the roast back into the oven and roast it for 15 - 20 minutes at high heat until it has a nice crust. Important: do not douse the roast at this point!
• You can serve the natural sauce from the pot directly with your finished roast. If it is too thick or tastes too spicy, just add a little water. If it is too thin, you can season it with a little soy sauce. Traditionally in Bavaria, our roast pork is served with potato dumplings and warm cabbage.
