Swedish Corned Pork Roast Recipes

SWEDISH CORNED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• In a large stainless steel pot or pickling crock, mix the water, pickling salt, and saltpeter together until dissolved. Untie the pork roast and place in the pickling solution. Place a heavy plate on top of the pork so that it will remain submerged.
• Cover and refrigerate for 10 days. Check occasionally to be sure the pork is covered by the liquid.
• After 10 days, remove the pork and retie it into a roast. Rinse well with fresh water. Place the roast in a large cooking pot, cover with cold water, and add the remaining ingredients: bay leaves, peppercorns and whole allspice.
• Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 2 hours 15 minutes.
• Slice the pork and place on large platter.
• Serve with Sweet and Hot Mustard.

SWEDISH GREEN SPLIT PEAS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Brown the bacon in a frying pan. Remove the bacon and set aside. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add onion and saute until tender.
• Drain peas and place in a 4 to 6 quart pot along with reserved bacon and sauteed onions. Add enough water to just cover the peas.
• Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, about 1 1/2 hours, or until the water is absorbed and the peas are thick. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and add more water if necessary.
• Stir in salt and pepper to taste and the butter.

SLOW COOKER GERMAN-STYLE PORK ROAST WITH SAUERKRAUT AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, garlic, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker; stir to coat. Season the pork roast with salt and pepper; lay atop the potatoes. Pour the sauerkraut over the roast; sprinkle with caraway seeds.
• Cook in slow cooker on Low 8 to 10 hours.

CZECH ROAST PORK

Steps:

• In a bowl, form a paste using the vegetable oil, mustard, caraway seeds, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub over the pork roast, and let sit about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange the onions in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Pour in the beer. Place the roast, fat side down, on top of the onions. Cover the pan with foil.
• Roast 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove foil, turn roast, and score the fat. Continue roasting 2 1/2 hours, or to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from heat, reserving pan juices, and let sit about 20 minutes before slicing thinly.
• In a saucepan, bring the reserved pan juices to a boil. Mix in the butter and cornstarch to thicken, reduce heat, and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the sliced pork.

PORK WITH SWEDE COLCANNON

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes and swede for 15 mins, adding the cabbage for the final 3 mins. Once tender, remove the cabbage with tongs and set aside. Drain the potatoes and swede, roughly mash with the milk, butter and seasoning, then stir through the cabbage.
• While the vegetables are boiling, rub the pork steaks with the oil. Heat a griddle pan, then cook the steaks for 3-4 mins on each side, depending on their thickness. Serve alongside the colcannon, drizzled with any pan juices.
