Cut the skin of the pork shoulder in one direction to create stripes for the crust.

Generously season the pork with salt and caraway seeds.

Heat oil in a pan until hot.

Roughly chop 3 old carrots and add them to the pan for the sauce.

Crush garlic cloves by pushing them with your hand to peel them easily.

Peel and chop 2 onions, adding them to the pan.

Add pig bones to the pan for flavor.

Sear the pork in the pan until browned on all sides for a few minutes.

Transfer the pork to a roasting pan and pour dark beer into the pan until it is about two fingers high.

Cover the pan and roast in the oven at 180-190°C (356-374°F) for at least 2 hours, basting with beer every half hour.

After 2 hours, check the pork; if the crust isn't formed, switch on the grill function in the oven.

Grill the pork until the crust is crispy, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Slice the pork into thin pieces and serve with sauce and potato dumplings.
