Schweinekrustenbraten literally translates to “pork roast with a crust,” and is a staple of Bavarian cuisine. Schweinekrustenbraten is often found in beer halls, served with roast vegetables, potato dumplings or spaetzle, and sauerkraut. It’s particularly popular during Oktoberfest (the annual, weeks-long Bavarian festival that draws millions), when cooler days call for heart-warming dishes. The pork joint (typically the shoulder) is seasoned with a paste made from paprika, mustard and caraway seeds.
Cooking Schweinekrustenbraten in an Ooni oven is simple, thanks to Bavarian grill enthusiast Dominic Stettner (@dominic.stettner), who brought this delicious Ooni recipe to life. All you need is a deep stainless steel baking dish (that can sustain temperatures of 200°C / 392°F), tin foil, and a wired meat thermometer to ensure the meat is cooked thoroughly. After a sear on both sides, the cut is slow-cooked atop a bed of seasonal root vegetables, which infuse with the juices, stock, and dark beer as they cook. Later, the vegetables and juices are blended to make a beautifully rich sauce. The crispy pork rind is cooked last, and requires a strong lick of flames which caramelise the fat. Carve with your sharpest knife and serve with sauce and vegetables—washed down with a tankard of Bavarian beer! This dish should be enjoyed all year round, but it's especially apt to warm the cockles in the colder fall and winter months, and makes a great alternative to traditional beef or chicken roasts.
