SCHWEINEBRATEN - GERMAN PORK ROAST RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175C). Place about 2 - 3 tbsp. of selected oil into a frying pan and begin to heat. Slice one clove of garlic and place into oil. Saute slightly. Rub down loin with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, place into pan and lightly brown. Repeat on all sides. Slice onions into thin rings and line bottom of roasting pan with the onions, carrots, remaining garlic clove, and some apple chunks. Place browned meat onto vegetables, fatty side down. Sprinkle meat with caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Lay the garlic from fry pan over the meat - do not add oil! Place bacon slices over top. Add 1/2 cup of liquid of your choice - wine, beer, broth or water. If adding juice instead of apples, add it now. Cover with lid and place in preheated oven. Cook for about 30 minutes, turn meat over. Baste with about a 1/2 cup more of fresh liquid, as well as pan liquid. Cook for another 15 minutes, add 1/2 cup more liquid, baste, and add in 1 vegetable bouillon cube. Cook until internal temperature is at least 160 degrees - about another 15 - 20 minutes.

GERMAN SCHWEINEBRATEN (PORK ROAST)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Score the skin of the roast, but not the fat in even 1 inch wide sections. Cut perpendicular to the roast, first in one direction and then the other. Rub down the roast with salt and pepper. Stick a handful of cloves across the top of the roast where crosses are formed by your cuts. Heat oil in sauce pan and sear the roast on all sides for a minute. Set aside roast and add carrots, potatoes and onions to the roasting pan. Add vegetable stock. Place the roast back into the roasting pan and sprinkle juniper berries over the top. Bake in oven for 2 - 2.5 hours or until the skin on top is crunchy and crispy. While cooking, use liquids from the roasting pan to baste the roast every 20-30 minutes. After it has been cooking about 1 hour, add 1/4 of the Weissbier, pouring it over the top of the roast. Then baste again after 30 minutes with drippings from the pan. An hour after the first shot of Weissbier, add the other 1/4 over the top of the roast. Once the skin has become crunchy, turn on the broiler and broil the roast until the top pops. Remove from oven. For gravy, drain all the liquid from the roasting pan and put it in a saucepan. Put the roast back into the roasting pan and into the oven until you are ready to serve it. Add cornstarch to the saucepan and cook at medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 15-20 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and powdered vegetable stock. Remove the roast from the oven again and place on a cutting board. Cut into 3/4 - 1 inch thick slices. Serve warm with gravy, dumplings, red cabbage and roasted potatoes
