Instruction
Prepare meat
Preheat the oven to 200°C hot air.
Cut the skin side of the pork belly and season with salt, pepper and paprika.
Place the meat in a roasting pan, skin side up.
Prepare garlic
Peel the garlic and add a few cloves to the meat.
Prepare vegetables
Wash the vegetables, peel them and cut them into nice pieces and place them in the roaster with the meat.
Prepare potatoes
Wash the potatoes, peel, cut into quarters and place with the vegetables.
Oven Time
Put the roast in the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.
Prepare sauce
After the time has elapsed, pour the veal stock and red wine over the roast and cook for another 50 minutes.
You can add a little more water if needed.
Side dishes
Prepare red cabbage and mashed potatoes or potato dumplings as side dishes.
Finish sauce
When the cooking time is up, pour the sauce into a saucepan, bring to the boil and mix in the cold butter.
Mix the cornstarch in a little cold water and slowly pour into the boiling sauce.
Wait for the desired binding and add more starch water if necessary.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Place the dried plums (prunes) in the sauce.
Crispy rind
If required (it should be nice and crispy), briefly fry the roast under the preheated grill until crispy, seasoning with salt beforehand.
Serve
Cut the meat open and arrange on preheated plates with the side dishes and sauce. Serve quickly.

You can season the sauce with a little butter, hot mustard and a little honey, which gives an additional flavor kick!

2. Calories and Nutritional Values
Attention, these are the nutritional values without side dishes!
3. Regional Differences in Roast Pork Preparation
From Munich to Hamburg, the popular roast is served in different ways depending on the region.
In Bavaria there is always a beer in the sauce, in the north chefs also use white or red wine for the roast.
After all, everything that tastes good is allowed in the culinary world.
4. Basic Knowledge of Preparing Roast Pork
You prepare the simple roast in the oven. Here is my quick guide:
- I recommend pork neck, pork neck or pork belly.
- Rinse the meat and pat dry.
- In the case of the pork belly, please cut the rind slightly to create a nice crispy texture.
- Season the meat well with salt, pepper and paprika and place in the preheated oven.
- You can use a high baking tray or a roast pan.
- The temperature range of 180°C has proven itself. Depending on the size of the roast, the cooking time is 90-120 minutes at the hot air setting (modern) and the top and bottom heat setting (classic).
- Add root vegetables such as carrots, parsley root, celery, onions and garlic and leave the roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
- Next, deglaze the roast, a decision must be made here: gravy or broth, plus white wine, red wine or beer.
Here in the article, below I present you a recipe with red wine sauce, the sauce becomes very strong and strong in taste due to the wine.
This is more the North German version of the Schweinsbraterl. Until then, let me show you more ideas and regional differences…
5. Prepare Pork Knuckle as Roast Pork
The pork knuckle is a great dish and such a roasted knuckle looks and tastes great.
In another kitchen story you will find out everything you need to know about roasting and cooking pork knuckle.
In addition to a recipe for cooked knuckle of pork with sauerkraut, I will show you the knuckle prepared Bavarian style, plus tips from the star kitchen and shopping tips as well as a calculation of the amount per person.
After all, the pork knuckle is an ideal family meal and should end up delicious on your table.
6. Prepare Original Bavarian Roast Pork
The Bavarian roast pork is of course my favorite, I have a great recipe from my grandfather, Grandpa Loibl, here on the site including a cooking video.
The roast from Bavaria is prepared with beer and is extremely popular.
The recipe has become quite long, the most important side dishes for the Bavarian variant are described in detail.
7. Preparing Crispy Roast with Crust is sure to be successful
You can also look directly at the crust roast.
I prepared this with plenty of herbs. This roast conjures up an incredible aroma in your kitchen.
In these instructions, I’ll show you how to get the herbs in the roast. We’ll also cook the sauce with white wine, which is exciting and a great change.
8. No time? This is How Roast Pork goes Faster
Cooking a roast in less than 40 minutes is a challenge.
With this recipe you can do it and serve your guests and loved ones a pink roast with pork fillet.
This variant is very popular with the ladies, as long as they eat meat.
9. Variant Prepare Roast Pork in a Pot
An equally nimble method of preparation succeeds directly in the pot.
So that it goes quickly, I fry the meat slices briefly and vigorously in the pot before stewing.
For this type of preparation, it is best to use slices of pork neck, neck steaks or slices of fillet.
This recipe has been tried and tested by star chefs, sometimes more guests come and the chef has to conjure up a few portions quickly.
10. Popular Side Dishes for Roast Pork
Popular side dishes are Bavarian cabbage , red cabbage and red cabbage , sauerkraut ,
potato dumplings, bread dumplings , mashed potatoes , serviette dumplings and the stewed vegetables that are produced during the preparation.

Hello Lennert, I also really like the roast with dark sauce. I like to use veal stock (homemade) and that gives the sauce an absolute taste boost. I wish you continued success! Kind regards Thomas

Hi Thomas, thank you very much for the great recipe and I would also like to thank you for the fact that your delicious recipes are always so detailed and full of tips. I've tried 2-3 dishes so far and loved them. 😀 Now to my question: You write as a tip that you could make a mustard and honey sauce. Last time I made a pork loin with mustard honey, unfortunately my sauce didn't turn out as nice and creamy as the recipe and its picture promise: … Roast with mustard … Can you tell me how to make this can make sauce so nice and brown? It looks like a glaze in the picture but is supposed to be mustard and honey. Is that fried with the gravy or how can I do that? Thanks in advance and best regards Inge

Hello Inge, thank you for your detailed cooking question. I just skimmed the recipe and unfortunately I don't understand it. The term low temperature is wrong and the cooking time is certainly not correct either. To your idea with the mustard marinade, a short version of how I do it, I tend to use the classic method here: – Season the meat as a whole with salt and pepper and sear on all sides – Preheat the oven at 180°C hot air – Place the meat on a grid in the oven and add the root vegetables and potatoes, garlic and onions underneath (tin) – After 30 minutes of cooking, brush the meat with a mustard-honey marinade – Additionally, deglaze the roasted vegetables with broth and white wine – Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C and cook gently to the end – Brush several times with the marinade. – Let the meat rest, reduce the sauce and thicken it with cold-mixed cornstarch and refine it with butter – You can refine the sauce with lemon zest and thyme or rosemary. – Cut the meat and arrange it on hot plates with the side dishes and sauce. Tip: If you want it to go faster, use a pork fillet, then pre-cook the vegetables (cut smaller) and only add the meat after about 20 minutes. Total cooking time maximum 35-40 minutes. —> Roast pork with pork fillet I hope you can implement the instructions. Here is a link to barbecue marinades , where the mustard marinade is described exactly. Kind regards and good luck Thomas Sixt

Hello Thomas, thank you very much for the recipe and your tips. Yes, thyme sounds very good, I love thyme combined with mustard. Then I'll try again. The instructions definitely sound promising and I am very curious if my roast will turn out well this time. The mustard marinade doesn't seem all that complicated either. Greetings Inge

Hi Thomas, I cooked roast pork with red wine and veal stock for the first time. That was a celebration. Compared to Bavarian roast pork, the result is a strong, dark sauce that is also good for the roast. I'll be happy to do that again. Absolutely delicious. Kind regards, Lennert
