Bavarian pork roast with bread dumplings and Sauerkraut

SchwarzenEGGer

Decided to have some friends over yesterday to share an old family dish from Bavaria.
I never made it in the Egg but it turned out so good. I cooked it at 300 degrees for about 2 hours then got the egg to about 650 for about 30 min to get the skin crispy. I made simple bread dumplings with it and some Sauerkraut. Everybody loved it. Have a good Sunday...

Pork belly and top sirloin from the local butcher store seasoned only with salt pepper and caraway seeds.

@NPHuskerFL the Smirnoff is just for White Russians and friends I don't like.

Wow, that brings back memories. My family is from Nurnberg - my grandmother who spoke almost no English used to make this and other great German meals for us as kids.  Sadly she died way before I learned how to cook, and she didn't pass on any skills or recipes to my mom or dad.  Great job - looks awesome.

@ehummelman if you are interested in the recipe let me know and I will write it up for you. It is so easy to do and turns out great every time. To bad you didn't have a chance to learn how to prepare these old school traditional dishes.

Didn’t notice it, damn old eyes are not what they used to be - the treasure there is the best Irish IMO, Tullamore....

@Botch - Danke!

Look up schweinshaxe. It's the German way of cooking shanks.

It's the German way of cooking shanks.  It's not directly shanks but pork knuckle. You can just roast the shanks like I did or if you have a rotisserie it would be even better to get the skin crispy. 
I never roasted a shank though but I don't think it is much different. 
Just make sure you use a dark rich beer for the sauce.

Thanks for jiggling my old memory.
