Pork in amber glaze
Pork in the glaze contains a simple, but very organic combination of flavors. We will just start with the preparation of the glaze. Mix 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 6 tablespoons of brown sugar, 3-4 tablespoons of sesame oil, a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Lubricate the resulting glaze with 2 portion pieces of pork, spread on a preheated grill pan with a small amount of vegetable oil, fry on both sides until golden brown. In the process, we pour the meat with the released juice. Serve the pork in a hot glaze, garnished with a sprig of rosemary. Fresh vegetables for garnish are only welcome.

Pour 50-60 ml of milk or cream into the baking dish. We spread the meat in the middle, and around-whole potato tubers with peel. Sprinkle everything with vegetable oil and spices, cover the mold with foil, put it in the oven at 190 °C for 40-45 minutes. At the final stage, you need to remove the foil and increase the temperature to the maximum. Before serving, garnish each portion of pork with potatoes with fresh herbs.

Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a frying pan, blanch 300 g of spinach until it settles, then remove it. Pour a little vegetable oil into the pan, pass the onion cubes until transparent. Then add 400 g of chopped mushrooms and evaporate all the liquid.
We spread the mushroom roast with spinach on the meat layer, sprinkle with paprika, roll up a tight roll. We tie it with twine and fry it in a frying pan from all sides. Then we rub it with our favorite herbs and spices, wrap it in foil, bake it in the oven for an hour at 180 °C. In cold form, this roll is tastiest of all.
German classics
Nothing compares to the recipe for pork knuckle. We wash and dry the knuckle weighing no more than 1.5 kg, make incisions and stuff it with pieces of garlic. Rub the meat on all sides with a mixture of cumin, basil and marjoram, leave it to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. After that, put the knuckle in a saucepan with a peeled onion, bay leaf and 4-5 peas of allspice. Fill the meat with 2 liters of dark beer and cook on the lowest heat for 2-3 hours.
We make onion frying in a frying pan, add 500 g of sauerkraut and a ladle of meat broth in which the knuckle was cooked. Simmer under the lid for half an hour.

Let the knuckle with cabbage brew a little more in the oven turned off and serve soon.

We dilute 1 tbsp. l. starch in 50 ml of water, pour it into a frying pan and bring the meat to readiness. Boiled long-grain rice is ideal as a side dish for such pork.
