Presentation

A nutritious recipe, consisting of a second course of German origin prepared with pork, salt, pepper, mustard, extra virgin olive oil, onion, tomato paste, beer, garlic, orange, honey, paprika, cinnamon, cloves, juniper, allspice, salt, pepper, meat broth

Ingredients

For 6 people

1200 g pork for roasting (42.3 oz)

Salt – to taste

Pepper – to taste

1 tablespoon mustard

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 bunch of herbs and vegetables for flavoring the broth

1 medium onion

1 tablespoon of tomato paste

1/2 liter of dark beer

2 cloves of garlic

1 orange

1 tablespoon of honey

1 teaspoon of paprika powder

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

4 cloves

4 juniper berries

4 allspice berries

Salt

Pepper

1/2 liter of meat broth

Method

Finely chop the herbs and vegetables with the onion.

Clean the meat, season it with salt and pepper and massage it with mustard.

Heat the oil and brown the roast on all sides.

Remove it from the pot and sauté the herbs, vegetables and finely chopped onions.

Add the tomato paste and dark beer.

Add the garlic, finely chopped orange, honey and spices, stir and return the roast to the pot.

Fill with the broth and simmer for 1.5 hours.

Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside for a few moments before cutting it, so that it remains juicy.

Strain the sauce, let it thicken and season it to taste.

We recommend serving the roast with a salad or our cabbage puree (in the next recipe).

Attention: Since the meat is cooked “au jus” (in its juices) and the sauce is prepared from these juices, this dish contains a lot of potassium. You can reduce the intake by not eating the sauce. Alternatively, you can cook the roast with vegetables in at least a liter of liquid. This way you don’t use the juices from the meat and serve a light sauce, e.g. sautéed onions with crème fraîche.

Allergens

Garlic: very rare cases of garlic reactivity reported

Orange: possible individual intolerance; possible cross-reaction in case of grass pollen allergy

Beer: presence of barley, hops and wheat included among the allergens in EU Regulation 1169/2011

Meat broth: check the composition for celery or other allergenic ingredients

Cinnamon: possible reactivity in case of intolerance to spices

Cloves: possible, albeit rare, cases of allergy

Onion: possible reactivity in case of nickel allergy due to the vegetable’s ability to concentrate it

Tomatoes: possible cross-reaction in case of sensitivity to grasses

Juniper: specific allergy even if mainly concerning pollen

Honey: possible reaction in case of pollen allergy

Extra virgin olive oil: unusual allergy; intolerance not described

Paprika: possible cross-reactivity in case of intolerance to spices

Pepper (green, pink, black, grey, white): possible cross-reactivity in case of spice intolerance

Allspice (allspice): possible allergy from direct contact on the skin

Mustard: included among the allergens in EU Regulation 1169/2011

Notes

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

Beer that can also be used in the recipe for children as the alcohol evaporates during cooking but the aroma remains

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Garlic: has immune-stimulating properties, promotes liver function and the elimination of waste metabolites. It also has hypocholesterolemic, lipid-lowering, antiplatelet, hypotensive and hypoglycemic properties that promote cardiac function.

Oranges: provide flavonoids (Vit. P), antioxidants that enhance the action of Vit. C in favor of the immune and cardiovascular systems: also indicated for nephropathic patients; useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. They provide folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Beer: increases good cholesterol levels, prevents the onset of cardiovascular disease, decreases the risk of diabetes, promotes kidney function

Meat broth source of proteins, minerals, amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants favorable to the proper functioning of the immune system

Cinnamon: able to strengthen the immune system

Pork: rich in selenium that supports the immune system. To reduce the presence of potassium, boil the meat in plenty of water which is then eliminated.

Cloves: rich in antioxidants that can strengthen the immune system

Onion: it is rich in selenium which supports the immune system and with the ability to stabilize blood glucose at normal values; it provides quercetin, a flavonoid that helps contain cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, parameters related to cardiovascular risk, which also supports liver function by promoting the purification of the body. Also indicated for nephropathic patients, it is a good diuretic that prevents kidney stones. It provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Tomato: rich in vitamin C, the antioxidant par excellence that fights free radicals and supports the immune system, and provides mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. Especially if consumed with the peel, it provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Juniper (berries): has diuretic properties; the extract is used in cases of liver dysfunction (chronic hepatitis, liver failure, liver cirrhosis, hypertrophic alcoholic cirrhosis, hepatic colic); in case of renal dysfunction (renal failure, water retention, lipoid nephrosis, oliguria, gout), in case of diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, and arteriosclerosis.

Honey: it has a composition that performs anti-anaemic and cardiotropic, detoxifying and protective action on the liver, diuretic.

Extra virgin olive oil: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids

Paprika: rich in vitamin C, the antioxidant par excellence that fights free radicals and supports the immune system

Pepper (green, pink, black, gray, white): contains piperine, a powerful antioxidant; it improves insulin sensitivity by reducing cholesterol levels and activating metabolism. Recommended for people with cardiovascular problems.

Allspice (allspice): promotes gastrointestinal function

Salt: essential for the balance of body fluids and for the transmission of nerve impulses, it is however to be consumed respecting the limit of 5 g per day according to the indications of the WHO so as not to promote arterial hypertension and consequent increase in the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases starting from myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke; to be limited as much as possible in the case of nephropathy.

Mustard: able to strengthen the immune system; also suitable for nephropathic patients
