PORK SHOULDER WITH APPLE SAUCE
Fläskbog med äppelsås
Real Swedish home cooking. Make the sauce while the potatoes are cooked in the oven, that way everything will be ready more or less at the same time.
Serves 6
2 lb 14 oz boneless pork shoulder WITH RIND
(in Sweden they're crazy about selling pork without
rind and that's almost the best part of the pork if I may
have my say in the matter ...)
1 tablespoon flaked salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 onion
1 apple
0.4 + 1.6 cup water
2 lbs new potatoes (if you can get hold of
so called "almond potatoes", use that)
0.4 cup finely chopped parsley
Sauce:
1 apple
pan juices from the meat + water
0.4 cup heavy cream
1 veal bouillon cube
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons redcurrant or blackcurrant jelly
For serving:
1 lb sprouts (oh yum and bliss)
Heat the oven to 350F.
Make cuts in the rind with a sharp knife, both lengthwise and in the other direction, so that you have a chequered pattern. Flavor the rind all around with salt and pepper. Peel and roughly chop the onion. Core and roughly chop the apple. Put onion and apple in an oven-proof pan and put the piece of meat on top. Pour on approx 0.4 cup water.
Cook in the lower part of the oven for about 2 hours until the meat has reached 160F inside. Baste with the pan juices occasionally and add more water so the bottom of the pan doesn't dry out and burn.
Peel the potatoes and add them when the meat has cooked for about 1 hour.
Take out the meat when it's ready and leave it out for about 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to another oven-proof pan, increase the heat to 435F and continue until the potatoes are nicely colored. Mix with parsley. Slice the meat.
Sauce:
Core and dice the apple. Strain the pan juices through a fine sieve. Measure it and add water so that you have 1.2 cups in all. Add cream and bouillon cube, bring to a boil and let boil for about 5 minutes. Stir the flour in some cold water and beat it into the sauce. Boil for another 5 minutes. Blend apple and jelly into the sauce.
Serve the meat with sauce, potatoes and sprouts.
Enjoy!
