What should I say after I finished a plate of mom's cooking beside yummy? Thank you, Mom! :)
This is how my mom made the roast pork served with red beets salad and boiled potatoes.
Roast Pork:
- 1.7 kg piece of pork from the shoulder.
- Make a cut every 3 centimeters or so on the meat.
- Rub the meat on all sides with 1/2 tsp ground caraway seed, 6 ground garlic, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp white pepper.
- Brush olive oil onto the meat.
- On the base of a shallow roasting pan, put first the sliced onions, follow with chopped carrots and celery, then put the pork bones along, on the top put the seasoned pork.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C for about 10 minutes
- As soon as the pork is put in the low rack of oven, turn the oven temperature up to 220°C for 20-25 minutes, then reduce to 180° for the rest of the cooking time (total of 120 to 130 minutes).
- Occasionally pour some broth (or dark beer) - total about 1/2 liter to the roast.
Boiled potatoes and red beets
Red beets salad:- Cut the red beets into slices
- Put in the bowl
- Mix with sugar and white vinegar
See how my little Vincent was sniffing the yummy fragrance from the roast pork lunch while I took the picture of it :)
