In a couple of days time we are gonna have a whole three days off together! Jippii! We were planning to travel to München to visit Hubby's brother. We wanted to book a room in a hotel but as it turned out there is the Oktoberfest going on in München. God, had totally forgotten about it! So many of the hotels are either booked out or pretty nice expensive. So we are gonna end up staying home after all... maybe go to the movies, eat out somewhere nice or a day trip to the mountains. And instead of going to Bavaria we made the Bavaria to come to us: Knuckle of pork, bread dumpling, beer sauce and sauerkraut (Schweinshaxe, Semmelknödel, Biersauce and Sauerkraut. Hier we go:
 |
| Found the right meat at the Carna Center and the beer in Coop |
 |
| Knuckle of pork |
 |
| We needed the knuckle of pork, bay leaves, pepper, juniper berries, cloves, garlic, onions, salt and water. |
 |
| We cooked the haxe for about 2 hours in a simmering water under the lit |
 |
| Afterwards it was grill time for about an home. One could also use an oven. |
 |
| Adding some coal |
 |
| While the haxe was on the grill it was time to prepare the dumplings. We have this nice old (1992) book which has really good basic recipes and I used the recipe of Semmerklösse for my dumplings |
 |
| Here's the recipe. I^m feeling a bit lazy so I will only translate it if somebody wishes so. |
 |
| Dumplings waiting to jump into the pot. I cooked them in the cooking liquid of the meat. |
 |
| And ready it is! |
 |
| And that sauerkraut? I admit, we bought it ready :) En Guete or as we say in Finland: Hyvää ruokahalua! |
