Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Breadcrumbs — For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or substitute with crushed gluten-free crackers.
  • Pork loin roast — Choose a well-trimmed roast with a good amount of marbling for juiciness and flavor.
  • Sauerkraut — Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water to reduce its tanginess if desired.
  • Mashed potatoes — Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for creamy mashed potatoes.

Tips & Tricks

  • To enhance the flavor, marinate the pork roast in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before stuffing and cooking.
  • For a crispy crust, increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Leftover roast can be sliced and used in sandwiches or salads.

Serving advice

Slice the German-style Stuffed Pork Roast into thick slices and serve it on a platter. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve with a side of sauerkraut and creamy mashed potatoes to complete the meal.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sliced pork roast on a serving platter, showcasing the beautiful stuffing. Place a small mound of sauerkraut and a scoop of mashed potatoes next to the slices. Sprinkle some fresh parsley over the dish for an elegant touch.
