Meatloaf with Sauerkraut and Apples

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   Choose a streaky pork belly for this dish, rinse it, and peel off the skin. Cut and split the belly into two flaps, then prick it all over with the tip of a knife.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sprinkle the pork generously with your favorite meat seasoning, add salt to taste, and rub it into all sides.

3. Step 3:

   

   Set the pork aside for 40 minutes to soak up the marinade while you prepare the filling.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sauerkraut makes a light, elegant side for the pork belly. Heat a skillet, add the vegetable oil, and add the sauerkraut. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring in a little seasoning and mixing thoroughly.

5. Step 5:

   

   Spread the cooled sauerkraut filling over one flap of the pork.

6. Step 6:

   

   Fold the other flap over the filling and secure it well all around with toothpicks.

7. Step 7:

   

   Pick firm winter apples to serve alongside — about one per portion.

8. Step 8:

   

   Set the roll on a baking sheet, shape it neatly, and bake in an oven preheated to 482°F (250°C) for 20 minutes. Take the roll out, arrange the apples in the pan alongside it, lower the oven to 400°F (200°C), and bake for another 35 minutes.

9. Step 9:

   

   The result is a juicy, mouthwatering dish! Cook it well and enjoy this pork belly with sauerkraut and apples.
