Ein Schäufele mit Weißbierkruste 😋👍 sooo gut!!!!!

pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: pork tenderloin

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Pork tenderloin is leaner, while chicken thighs are more affordable.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth is lower in calories, while water with seasoning is cost-effective.

Place the crackling side down into the broth and Weißbier mixture to steam in the liquid.

Add enough broth and Weißbier to cover the Schäufele halfway, then roast for at least 3 hours (covered) at 100°C until the core temperature reaches 85°–90°C.

Remove the Schäufele, score the crackling into a diamond pattern, and season it with salt.

Place it back in the oven, crackling side up, and cover the meat with aluminum foil to keep it from drying out. The salted crackling should remain uncovered.

Pour Weißbier over the crackling and roast at 220°C with top heat or grill function for about 10–15 minutes until the crust is perfectly crispy and pops beautifully.

Remove the Schäufele and keep it warm.

Strain the broth/Weißbier mixture along with the roasting juices and vegetables. Season the sauce and, if desired, whisk in cold butter for a glossy finish.
