Nuremberg style glazed pork

6 servings

30 minutes

Nuremberg-style glazed pork is an exquisite dish of German cuisine that combines the caramelized sweetness of sugar and the rich depth of soy sauce with spicy notes of garlic and lemon. This recipe draws inspiration from the traditions of Nuremberg, a city with a rich culinary history known for its meat delicacies. Tender pieces of pork soaked in aromatic glaze develop an appetizing golden crust when fried and become incredibly juicy after braising. The addition of onions and a pinch of ground ginger gives the dish a subtle spicy warmth. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive gathering, especially when paired with potato sides or fresh bread. Before serving, it can be sprinkled with sesame seeds for added texture and aroma.
