Directions

1
Bring plenty of water to the boil in a pot or roaster. Peel onions and lard 1 onion with bay leaf and cloves. Add the smoked pork, the larded onion and peppercorns to the boiling water. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 45 minutes. In the meantime, finely dice remaining onions. Clean and chop the mushrooms finely. Wash parsley, dab dry and also chop.
2
Heat the fat in a pan. Stir-fry the onions and mushrooms until they begin to brown and there is no more liquid in the pan. Add parsley and season with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. Let it cool down. Remove the pork loin from the stock and let it cool down as well. Place puff pastry sheets next to each other and defrost at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Lightly moisten 5 plates with water, place them on top of each other and roll out into a square (approx. 35 x 35 cm) on a floured work surface. Separate the egg and brush the edges of the dough with egg white. Sprinkle breadcrumbs in the middle of the dough plate, in the length of the Kasseler. Put the mushroom mixture on top and place the top of the Kasseler on top. Whip the smoked pork loin in the dough and press well. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the roast on top with the seam side down. Roll the rest of the pastry sheet a little thinner and cut out flowers as desired.

Carve a basket from a small orange and fill with Cumberland sauce. Slice the sliced pork loin and arrange on a plate. Serve garnished with the orange basket, puff pastry blossoms and lemon balm.
