150 minutes

Beer-braised pork is a true embodiment of German culinary tradition, where simple ingredients transform into a delightful dish. The combination of tender pork simmered in beer with aromatic spices creates a rich flavor with deep caramel notes. Vinegar and maple syrup provide the sauce with a balance between sweetness and acidity, while pears add fruity freshness. A special texture is achieved by searing the meat to a crispy crust, making the dish even more appetizing. Arugula adds lightness and spiciness to the presentation. This dish is perfect for a cozy home dinner or festive gathering, reminiscent of the warmth of German taverns where beer and meat are constant companions of gastronomic pleasure.
