beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

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

Make cross cuts on the pork belly without cutting through the meat, aiming for a thickness of about 4 cm.

Season the pork shoulder generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Slice three medium onions into julienne strips and add them to a roasting pan with the pork.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) with heat from both top and bottom.

Place the roasting pan in the middle of the oven and roast for 2.5 hours.

After 2.5 hours, remove the meat from the pan and transfer the juices and caramelized onions to a pot.

Increase the oven temperature to 260°C (500°F) and return the meat to the roasting pan for an additional 10 minutes to create a crispy crust.

In the pot with the meat juices and onions, add a pinch of ground cumin, bay leaves, and homemade vegetable broth dissolved in hot water.

Add more water to dilute the flavor, and cook for 10 minutes while mixing to integrate the flavors.

After 10 minutes, remove the bay leaves from the sauce and taste for salt adjustment.

Dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in water and add it to the sauce to thicken, stirring continuously and cooking on low heat for about 2-3 minutes until desired consistency is reached.

Serve the dish with potato dumplings (knödel) and garnish with chopped chives.
