Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 2 kg cured roast pork with rind (from ham; it is essential to order 3-4 days in advance from the butcher!)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 collar Soup Greens
  • 4 Onions
  • 1 TABLESPOON liquid honey
  • 7 TABLESPOONS white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 TABLESPOON Mustard
  • 5 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 400 g Mushrooms
  • 1 kg Frozen princess beans
  • 2-3 TABLESPOONS dark sauce thickener

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200°C/circulating air: 175°C/gas: level 3). Wash the meat, dab dry, cut the rind with a sharp knife (also good: clean cutter knife) in a diamond shape.

  2. 2

    Season the meat with pepper and a little salt. Place on the fat pan of the oven. Bake in the hot oven for about 2 1/2 hours.

  3. 3

    Soup greens clean or peel, wash and roughly cut. Peel onions and dice 2 roughly. Spread the soup vegetables around the roast after about 20 minutes. After about 45 minutes gradually add 1/2-3/4 l water.

  4. 4

    After approx. 2 hours, switch the temperature up (electric cooker: 225°C/circulating air: 200°C/gas: level 4) so that the rind becomes crispy. Mix honey and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the crust with it about 10 minutes before the end of the roasting time.

  5. 5

    Possibly switch on the oven grill in the last minutes, but observe the crust so that it does not burn.

  6. 6

    In the meantime, finely dice 2 onions for the bean salad. Mix vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and 1 pinch of sugar. Fold in the oil. Stir the onions into the vinaigrette.

  7. 7

    Clean the mushrooms, wash if necessary and cut into fine slices. Cover the beans and cook in boiling salted water for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain the beans and put them back into the pot. Fold in mushrooms and vinaigrette and leave to stand.

  8. 8

    Remove the roast and keep warm. Pour the roast stock through a sieve into a measuring cup. If necessary, fill up to approx. 600 ml with water. Bring to the boil in the pot, thicken slightly with sauce thickener and simmer for 1 minute.

  9. 9

    Season with pepper, 1 pinch of sugar and a little salt. Cut the roast open, arrange everything. Roast potatoes taste good with it.
