👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Pat the pork belly dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork belly on all sides until golden brown and the skin is crisping.
💡 專業提示: Ensuring the pork belly is dry helps achieve a good sear and crispy skin. - 2
Remove the pork belly from the pot and set aside. Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and crushed caraway seeds, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 專業提示: Scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot adds extra flavor to the stew. - 3
Return the pork belly to the pot. Pour in the pork or beef stock and the diced tomatoes. Bring the liquid to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
💡 專業提示: Using a good quality stock will enhance the overall flavor of the stew. - 4
Add the rinsed buckwheat groats and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine. Cover the pot tightly and transfer to the preheated oven.
💡 專業提示: Rinsing the buckwheat helps remove any dust and excess starch. - 5
Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork belly is very tender and the buckwheat is cooked through and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
💡 專業提示: The long, slow cooking time is essential for tenderizing the pork belly and allowing the flavors to meld. - 6
Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the chopped fresh marjoram. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
💡 專業提示: Marjoram adds a fresh, slightly minty aroma that complements the richness of the pork. - 7
Serve the stew hot, with a dollop of sour cream if desired. This dish is often served with a side of pickled vegetables.
💡 專業提示: The sour cream adds a cooling contrast to the rich, savory stew.
💡 專業提示
- ✓For an extra crispy skin, you can broil the pork belly for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- ✓If the stew becomes too thick during cooking, add a little more stock or water.
- ✓This stew can be made ahead of time and reheated, as the flavors often improve the next day.
