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)

This stew was bland and tasteless. I would not recommend it.

This stew was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still liked it. I would make it again with less chili powder.

The meat was a little tough, but the sauce was delicious. I would try this recipe again with a different cut of meat.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper.
