Pork in beer
1 serving
40 minutes
Pork in beer is a true reflection of Czech gastronomy, where simplicity meets depth of flavor. This recipe has roots in traditional taverns of Prague, where aromatic meat dishes are perfectly complemented by a mug of fresh beer. Tender pork neck infused with malty notes of light beer gains remarkable softness and richness of taste. Oyster mushrooms add a light earthy bitterness, while onions highlight the sweet and caramelized tones of the meat. Crispy potatoes fried to a golden crust make an ideal side dish, and fresh pickled cucumbers and juicy cherry tomatoes finish the composition with a light tanginess. This dish not only delights the palate but also offers a sense of comfort and traditions of old Europe, making every dinner special.
