Schäufele (shoulder of pork) in flaky pastry

– 250 g flaky pastry
– 600 g Black Forest Schäufele (shoulder of pork)
– 1 large green lettuce
– 2-3 tomatoes

Preparation: Remove the Schäufele (shoulder of pork) from the tray and coat it in the already rolled out flaky pastry. Place the Schäufele (shoulder of pork), which is now enveloped in the flaky pastry, onto the greased baking tray. For a particularly attractive shine and a tasty crust, we recommend coating the crust with some egg yolk. Then bake the Schäufele (shoulder of pork) for 40 minutes at 180°C dry heat in the pre-heated oven. A seasonal salad variation would be an ideal accompaniment to the still warm Schäufele (shoulder of pork)

Then deglaze the roux with white wine and Noilly Prat and pour on the hot chicken stock. The sauce should simmer for at least 20 minutes at low heat. During this time, briefly sautée the spinach and the bear’s garlic in a little bit of bown butter and then shortly braise with a small scallion. Thereafter add this to the sauce. Finely blend in a mixer. Strain the sauce, stir until cold on ice and put aside.

Ham cannelloni
Spread out the Black Forest ham on a moist cloth, reaching a height of approx. 15 cm and a width of approx. 20 cm. Place a slice of boiled ham on top and two slices of cheese on top of this. In the centre of this mat of ham and cheese, the pearl barley risotto is placed lengthwise. Then roll it up so that the ends are closed. Place the cannelloni in a fireproof dish and pour over the bear’s garlic sauce. Sprinkle over the parmesan cheese.
