You'll need
- 1 Kilo Schweinebraten mit Schwarte,
- 2 Gemüsezwiebeln
- 120 g4 oz Öl neutral
- Salz, Pfeffer,
- etwas etwas Knoblauchpulver,
- Düsseldorfer Löwensenf
- 500 ml2 cups Starkbier oder Pils
- ggf. Brühe
- ggf. Saucenbinder
- 1 kilo pork roast with rind
- 2 Spanish onions
- 120 g½ cup + 1 tbsp neutral oil
- Salt, pepper
- A little garlic powder
- Düsseldorfer Löwensenf (German mustard)
- 500 ml2 cups strong beer or pilsner
- Stock, if needed
- Sauce thickener, if needed
Method
- Score the rind in a diamond pattern and place it in boiled water for . (Only the rind, not the meat.) This can also be done the day before.
Our tip Cut through the rind into the fat but not into the meat; a sharp craft knife does it more cleanly than a kitchen knife. Most butchers will score it for you if you ask.
- Dry and season. Put only salt and pepper into the cuts in the rind. Spread Löwensenf over everything except the rind.
- Heat the oil in the Combi on Sear/Sauté/ Hi, then briefly sear the roast on all sides, just not the rind.
Our tip Sear/Sauté only runs with the door open. Lower the meat in with tongs, away from you, and turn it only once each side has browned and lets go of the pan.
- Take it out and gently cook the onions in the pan juices until golden.
- Place the roast on top.
- Then bake for on Bake at 190°C375°F.
- After , set 160°C320°F/Bake and pour 250 ml1 cup beer over the roast.
- Then another /160°C320°F/Bake, and pour the rest of the beer over it.
- Then take it out and pour the juices into a saucepan. Add some stock if needed.
- Blend with a stick blender, bring to the boil once more and thicken.
- Meanwhile, put the roast back in the Combi pan and set /200°C390°F/Air Fry so that the crackling blisters nicely and turns crisp.
Our tip It's ready when the crackling has puffed and blistered all over and sounds hollow when you tap it with a knife. Flat, leathery patches need a few more minutes; watch them closely.
- Slice and serve with the sauce.
