The perfect caraway roast pork: a holiday enjoyment!

Ilz, Österreich - On December 27, 2024, the anticipation for the coming year and the associated culinary traditions will become increasingly noticeable. In Styria and Burgenland, the Kümmel pork roast is a popular New Year classic, which was already sung by the Austrian poet Anton Wildgans in his epic "Kirbisch". Wild goose describes the delicious dish as a "fraudulent, roasting and brown by the pounding fire of the Bratherdes". The preparation starts around two days earlier with a special marinade made of salt, caraway and garlic, which gives the meat its tenderness, as on Jagd1.de . First, the goose legs, wings and chest are fried in a hot fried fat together with onions and apples. After that, everything is poured in with wild fund and cooked in a pressure cooker for about 45 minutes. The final preparation is then made in the oven. With a special mix of salt water and honey, the meat is coated until the skin "chokes" and is crispy golden.

whether the traditionally prepared caraway roast pork or the refined wild goose, both dishes stand for enjoyment and festive atmosphere on New Year. In this way, the transition to the new year becomes not only culinary, but also emotionally a special experience. Different types of preparation and recipes show how deeply rooted these traditions in Austrian food that always make you want more.
