Schweinsbraten (Austrian slow-roast pork shoulder) and friendship

by Jeanne Horak on April 12, 2011 21 Comments in Gluten-free, Main course - meat

Schweinsbraten © J Horak-Druiff 2011

The past two months have been a bit of a rollercoaster for me.  From highs like our beach wedding vow renewal ceremony and speaking at the Food Blogger Indaba, to lows like my father’s hospitalisation and unexpected death and the sad task of packing up my childhood home and parents’ treasured possessions.  But the one theme that has run through all this like a golden thread has been the rich and diverse friendships that I have, and the miracle of their power to sustain, nourish and cheer me through both good and bad times.

Friendship comes in many forms.  Friendship is coming to the airport as an impromptu welcoming committee on the day I flew home for my dad’s funeral.  Friendship is the dozens of e-mails and heartfelt messages of support from people on my Facebook and Twitter pages, some of whom have never met me in person but were there and willing to stay up and chat on a very dark night. Friendship is rearranging your kids’ sleeping arrangements at the drop of a hat so that Aunty Jeanne can have a bedroom of her own for two weeks.  Friendship is insisting on coming to help me pack up my family home – giving up evenings and weekends – and making the packing of my late mom’s clothes feel like a girly shopping trip, not a terribly sad chore.  Friendship is flying from Johannesburg especially to be at my father’s funeral and support me.  Friendship is giving up a precious Sunday afternoon on 10 minutes’ notice to help clean a very dusty house ahead of a viewing by a potential buyer, and for making me laugh despite the seriousness of it all.  Friendship is my blogMamma‘s constant love, prayers, late-night chats on Twitter and much-needed motherly words of wisdom during a very difficult time.

Thank you, my treasured friends.  You are irreplaceable.

Friendship is also wrapped up in the rituals of eating, and one of my favourite ways of hnouring a particular friend is to make a dish that they taught me to make.  The very first person that I ever met online on this blog and then went on to meet in real life was my dear friend Johanna.  We had exchanged blog comments and chatted online for a few months and figured out that we had quite a lot in common.  Eventually we planned to meet up in person and I still remember  being fine about it until I got out of the Tube station close to the restaurant.  Then I was suddenly gripped with all sorts of misgivings.  What if she stood me up, sniggering at my disappointment from behind dark glasses in a cafe across the street? What if we sat down and had nothing to say to each other?  What if she was an axe-murderer (or a 16-year old boy!)?  Clearly my subconscious hates me.

But none of these awful possibilities came to pass – we were as compatible in person as we were on our blogs and our planned glass of wine turned into two bottles and an evening of non-stop chatter.  We have seldom stopped talking since – through good times and parties; through family dramas and bereavements; through expensive restaurants and home-cooked meals; and even a road trip through Austria. I have watched her gorgeous kids growing up and I was even chosen by her daughter to be her honourary “Aunty” – a rare honour indeed!  Understandably, we were both devastated at having to say goodbye when Johanna moved to Singapore last year.  I can’t begin to calculate the hours we have spent in various kitchens together, or the number of dishes that Johanna has inspired me to make.  But one of the dishes that most reminds me of her is the divine Schweinsbraten from her native Austria that she taught me to make.  Every time I make it, I miss her company; but as the meat cooks, the warm, spicy smell wraps itself around me, as familiar and comforting as a warm hug from a friend.

There really is no rocket science to this roast – the only fiddly bit is the seasoning of the meat, and remembering to turn up the oven’s heat gradually.  But the end result is utterly spectacular: meat as tender as pulled pork, infused with garlic and spice, and crackling that you would sell your grandmother for – trust me, it’s that good.

 

SchweinsbratenCollage

AUSTRIAN SCHWEINSBRATEN (slow-roast shoulder of pork) – serves 6-8

Ingredients:

1.8kg pork shoulder
about 20 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp black pepper
2 Tbsp ground coriander seeds
2 Tbsp ground caraway seeds
1 Tbsp ground cumin seeds
water

Method:

If your meat has come from a supermarket packaged in a twine “stocking”, cut off the stocking.  Make sure that the fat is scored.  If not, score it yourself:  using a very sharp knife, make parallel cuts about 1cm apart all over the fat.  Make sure you cut through the tough skin, but do not cut all the way down into the meat.

Peel the garlic and cut about three quarters of the cloves into sticks, which you will use to stud the meat. Turn the meat over so that it is lying fat side down.  Use a thin kitchen knife to prick holes all over the pork, sliding the garlic sticks over the blade into the meat before removing the knife. Leave aout 1cm between each hole and stud the meat all over. Rub the pork generously all over with the salt, pepper and spice mix. As Johanna says “if you feel you are using obscene amonts of spice, you have the quantities just about right”.

Turn the meat over so that the skin side is up.  Stud the fat with garlic sticks as described above.  Crush the rest of the garlic and smear over the roast, including the skin, taking care to work it into the cuts scored in the fat; then rub all over (meat and fat) generously with the remaining salt, pepper and spice mix (grind more if you have to!).  Allow the meat to soak up the flavours for a long as possible, preferably overnight.

Place the pork skin-up in an casserole with lid.  Add enough water so that the base of the casserole is covered with about an inch of water.  Cover with lid and try to cook as long and slow as possible – bank on at least 3.5 hours.  Place the casserole in cold oven and immediately turn the temperature to 150C.  Raise the temperature by about 10C every half an hour, until in the last hour you reach 220C.  During cooking, frequently baste the pork with the cooking juices – baste at least once every half an hour when you turn up the temperature.

Take the lid off in about the last half-hour of cooking so that the crackling crisps up nicely – you can help it along by turning the grill on high for the final 15 minutes of cooking.

I served mine with boiled new potatoes and white cabbage with bacon and caraway seeds.

Here are some more bloggers feasting on pork:

  • Portuguese pork ribs from Andrew
  • Slow-roast pork belly from Michelle
  • Pork-tastic Brazilian feijoada from Rosana

 

Don’t forget that this month I am hosting the Monthly Mingle, my darling sister Meeta’s monthly event.  The theme is Topless Tarts and you have until 30 April to get your entries to me!  Full details are available on my announcement post.

    It’s a joy to discover the truth that friendship isn’t a big thing – it’s a million little things.
    Love the roast pork recipe, certainly brings back wonderful childhood memories of Sunday lunches. My Dad has a allergy to pork, but loves to eat it, so we would always only have it had lunch time, so he could deal with the allergies before bedtime! Strange family I have!

    This looks simply perfect, Jeanne, and so in keeping with the ingredients and flavors I love. Johanna’s comment — “”if you feel you are using obscene amounts of spice, you have the quantities just about right” — is one that I’m totally on board with when it comes to pork roast. A beautiful post and recipe.

    Hi, are you sure that you mean to increast the temperature by 100C every half hour? if that’s correct, after the first half hour I’m at 250C, hotter than your maximum 220C quoted for “the last hour”…
    Am I reading this incorrectly?

    I love Austria, my mother is not a cook but she is from Austria. I am an accomplished cook and this recipe was like eating food from Some other country. I ground my spices fresh and the cumin was so overpowering. It was not good

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
