For 6 portions

Ingredients

1 kg pork neck
5–6 medium potatoes
2 red onions
3 cloves of garlic
salt, pepper
ground sweet paprika
hot paprika (to taste)
dried marjoram
potato seasoning
oil
slices of bacon

For the braising liquid:

approx. 1/2 can of dark beer
1 bouillon cube
200 ml water

Preparation procedure

Marinating the meat: Cut the pork neck into even slices, salt, pepper, sprinkle with sweet and hot paprika, marjoram and drizzle with oil. Mix everything and let it rest for at least an hour, ideally overnight.
Preparing the vegetables: Cut the potatoes and onions into thin slices. Salt, season and mix with pressed garlic and a little oil.
Layering into the baking dish: Grease a larger baking dish or roasting pan. Alternately arrange the meat, potatoes, slices of bacon and onion – like an "accordion". Everything should be placed closely together so the ingredients meld together.
Baking: Cover and place in an oven preheated to 200 °C, bake for 15 minutes. Then pour over the dissolved bouillon in 200 ml of water and, covered, braise for another 25 minutes.
Adding the beer and finishing: After 25 minutes pour in the dark beer and, covered again, braise for another 25 minutes. Then uncover and let it brown until the meat is tender and golden and the potatoes are nicely roasted.

⏱ Total preparation time: 2 hours (including marinating overnight)

🍽 Number of servings: 5–6
