Walserstuba: Roast crust with vegetable
potato stew

Ingredients for 4 people

© Kleinwalsertal Tourismus eGen • Photographer: Werner Krug
  • 1 fatty piece of pork belly with rind, approx. 800g
  • 2 onions
  • 4 carrots
  • 1 small celery
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 leek stalk
  • 600g soft-boiled potatoes
  • ½ l meat or vegetable stock (stock cube from the
  • health food store)
  • ½ l beer (wheat beer, light or dark beer)
  • natural salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • garlic
  • marjoram
  • freshly ground caraway
  • clarified butter Crusty roast

preparation


Order the pork belly with rind from the butcher and have it ideally cut by a professional.

Peel the root vegetables, chop evenly (leave the garlic cloves whole) and fry lightly in clarified butter in a roasting tin. Deglaze with the stock. Rub the meat well with salt all over, do not sear, just “bed” it on the vegetables and roast in a preheated oven at 150°C with the rind facing upwards on the bottom shelf for approx. 3.5 hours.

Then remove the roast and season with pepper, marjoram and caraway from below (everything but the rind!).

Roughly dice the cooked, peeled potatoes and add to the vegetables, deglaze with the beer and “bed” the meat on the vegetables again. Switch the oven to a high top heat (grill if available), place the roasting pan on the bottom if possible (as far away from the top heat as possible) and roast for approx. 10 to 30 minutes until crispy (depending on the oven).

Now you have to be careful: it's best to stay with it and watch the rind burst open (similar to when popcorn bursts) - the crust must really crack. The roast can now burn very quickly in a matter of minutes - watch out! Season the resulting “vegetable and potato stew”, including the gravy, with a little salt.

Before serving, place the crusted roast on a carving board with the crust facing downwards, carefully cut the meat into slices and make a firm, crisp cut in the crust to prevent it from coming loose. Serve the stew in a soup plate and place the crusted roast on top.
