That's how it is in Upper Austria: not just one, but two types of dumplings are served with roast pork. And freshly cooked potatoes are actually a must!

Cooking time: 2 hours

For the roast

Ingredients (6 servings)
1,5 kg Surkarree with rind
90 g Pork lard
1/2 l Beef stock
2 tablespoon(s) Flour
Salt

For the flour dumplings

Ingredients (6 servings)
300 g Coarse-grained flour
Salt

For the bread dumplings

Ingredients (6 servings)
1/2 kg Dumpling bread
2 Eggs
2 tablespoon(s) Chopped parsley
5 g Salt

For the coleslaw

Ingredients (6 servings)
1/2 Häuptel cabbage
80 g Sugar
5 g Salt
Caraway seeds
1/4 l Must vinegar
1/16 l Sunflower oil

Preparation

  • A brief digression for those interested: in the restaurant, for 12 kilograms of rack of pork, approx. 30 grams of pickling salt and 4 pressed garlic cloves are mixed per kilogram of meat and rubbed into the meat. Then layer tightly in a boding (vat) and close with the lid. Turn daily for a week, then store in a cool place for 3 to 4 weeks.
  • Roast the loin in lard on the rind in the oven. When it is golden brown, turn and fry on the meat side. Pour in the beef stock.
  • Roast for approx. 1.5 to 2 hours, adding liquid from time to time.
  • Then skim off the gravy and stir ¼ litre of cold water and 2 tablespoons of flour into a Gmachtl and whisk the gravy with it and bring to the boil to thicken. Salt as required.
  • For the flour dumplings, salt the flour, stir in ⅛ litre of hot water and knead until a smooth dough is formed. Form small dumplings and cook in boiling salted water for 15 minutes.
  • To make the bread dumplings, mix the bread with the eggs, parsley and salt and leave to rest briefly. Form dumplings and cook in boiling salted water for 10 minutes.
  • For the coleslaw, shred the cabbage, mix with sugar, salt, caraway seeds, cider vinegar and sunflower oil and knead well. Add a little water if necessary.
  • To serve, cut the meat into thin slices and bring to the table with the dumplings and salad.

Wine tip:

Grüner Veltliner
Weinviertel DAC Reserve Dog 2020
Pfaffl Winery (Falstaff Points: 93)

Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Herbal-spicy, candied orange zest, yellow pome fruit notes, a hint of blossom honey in the background. Juicy, delicate tropical fruit, nuances of mango, pleasant acid structure, elegant, lingers long with a sweet fruit finish, a well-balanced food wine.
