PORK AND BEER STEW (GERMAN)



Pork and Beer Stew (German) image

*Schweinefleisch und Bier-Eintopf* in German, this recipe is from *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny. Roz said "In several parts of Germany, breadcrumbs are used to thicken soups & stews, a brilliant idea that adds a delicious rich & slightly nutty flavour, esp when beer is used instead of stock. This recipe uses shoulder of pork, but works equally well w/beef or veal & is a wonderful warming casserole." *Enjoy* ! (15 min was allowed for ingredient prep)

BAVARIAN BEER-ROASTED PORK



Bavarian Beer-Roasted Pork image

This is a show-stopping main course full of flavour. The stars of the show are two of Germany's favourite ingredients: pork and wonderful beer! I make my roast in a ceramic "Roemertopf" but a regular deep roaster with a lid will work just as well.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • (If using a ceramic Roemertopf, it's important to submerge the pot & lid in cold water for at least 20min. A Roemertopf should only ever be placed in an initially COLD oven)
  • Cut the fat layer in a criss-cross pattern so it will later become crispy.
  • Dry off the meat and season well on all sides with salt & pepper.
  • Lay the meat, fat side down, into a Roemertopf or roasting pan with a lid.
  • Fill in 125ml of water and the 250ml beer.
  • Put the Roemertopf in the cold oven (or a regular roasting pan in a pre-heated oven) at 220C.
  • Cook for 45min.
  • Take the roast out of the oven and turn it around (fat side up.)
  • Add the chopped vegetables and herbs in roughly cut cubes around the meat. If necessary, add a little bit more water or beer.
  • Put the lid back on and cook for a further 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, take the lid off the Roemertopf /roaster and turn up the heat to 250C in order to crisp-up the fat layer ("crackling").
  • Keep on basting the roast and keep an eye on it for about 15-20min, until the fat layer has become nice and crispy.
  • Remove the roast from the oven, leave the meat to rest for min. 10min before carving.
  • Serve with potato mash, roast potatoes, dumplings or Spaetzle (German egg noodles) and the vegetables from the pan.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut in 1 1/2-inch bits
Salt and pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
4 medium carrots, diced
2 medium apples, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
1 bay leaf
1 cup diced canned or fresh tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth (bouillon)
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Cooked buttered egg noodles

Steps:

  • 1. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a heavy casserole over medium-high heat. Brown the pork well in batches. Remove to a bowl.
  • 2. Wipe casserole clean and heat the remaining oil over low heat. Add onions, carrots, and apples. Stir until softened, 10 minutes, adding the garlic in the last 3 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients except noodles. Return pork and any juices to the casserole.
  • 3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring, until the meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Discard bay leaf; adjust seasonings. Serve over egg noodles in shallow bowls.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and high-quality cuts of meat.
  • Brown the meat before stewing it. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
  • Choose the right type of beer for your stew. A dark beer will add a rich, malty flavor, while a light beer will be more refreshing.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Pork and beer stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. By following these tips, you can make a delicious pork and beer stew that your family and friends will love.
