Pulled Pork in my BBQ BOX, Homemade littleGasthaus #pulledpork #BBQ #bbqsmoker

 


This video is 10 years old, today there is the 4th generation. 

I have improved the box a few times over the years. 
Now you can use it to grill, bake, cook, smoke and more. 
With an "oven" that isn't one, 70% made from locally grown materials, transportable and easy to build yourself. 
Let me know if you are interested in the BBQ_BOX_Smoker, write me in the comment. 
I think it's not just for hermits and bush people. 
I would like to set up a channel with memberships to further develop the box with you. 
Next year there will be some changes, longer trips through Germany in my RV are coming up. 
A lot of outdoor cooking with the BOX , Sausage making and smoking. 
More about that in a separate video.

Nurnberg Style Rost Bratwurst
For 1000g Meat you neede 
 
Meat:
 600g pork shoulder 
400g pork belly 
 
 Spices:
22g salt

  1g marjoram, crushed 
0.5g mace, ground 
 
The original Nuremberg Rostbratwurst usually has a diameter of 14-16 mm 
and a weight of 20-25 grams 
Here in the video I use a diameter of approx. 22 mm
 _________________________________________________________________________________
 1. Start by preparing the meat. Take 600g of pork shoulder and 400g of pork belly. Make sure the pork shoulder is boneless and fat is still on both cuts.

2. Dice both the pork shoulder and pork belly into small pieces, approximately 1-2 cm in size.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pork shoulder and pork belly together.

4. In a separate small bowl, mix together the spices for the bratwurst. Combine 22g of salt, 2g of ground black pepper, 1g of crushed marjoram, and 0.5g of ground mace.

5. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the diced pork and mix well, ensuring all the meat is coated evenly with the spices.

6. Let the meat mixture marinate in the freezer for at least 1/2 hours to allow the flavors to develop and to freeze the meat easily.

7. After marinating, take the meat mixture out of the refrigerator and begin the sausage-making process.

8. Use a sausage stuffer or fill the meat mixture into a sausage casing with a diameter of approximately 14-16 mm.

9. Twist or tie off the sausages at regular intervals to form individual bratwurst links.  
Approximately 70 mm long

10. You can now cook the Nuremberg Rostbratwurst as desired, either grilling or pan-frying them until they are fully cooked and have a nice golden brown color. Enjoy the delicious Nuremberg-style bratwurst!

Mediterranean Meat Cheese, Fleisch Käse, Step by Step Tutorial The Germa...





Today, I will show you how to make your very own Mediterranean meatloaf 

using simple ingredients.


First, let's talk about the versatility of the Mediterranean meatloaf. 

You have the freedom to get creative and choose your own fillings. 

You can add pepperoni, zucchini, rosemary, or parmesan to make it even more flavorful.


However, if you prefer to follow a specific recipe, you can use mine as a guide. 

My recipe includes dried tomatoes, olives, mozzarella, and basil for that true Mediterranean taste.


To start, make sure you have 1 kg of base mixture. You will need 

50% pork neck (500 g),

 20% pork back bacon (200 g), 

15% lean beef (150 g), and 

15% crushed ice (150 g). 

Grind the meat using a meat grinder with a 3 mm plate. 

Repeat the process twice and freeze the meat slightly in between.


Next, let's talk about the spices. 

For every kg of base mass, you will need 

20 g of nitrite curing salt, 

3 g of cutting aid, 

2 g of onion powder, 

2 g of white pepper, 

0.75 g of mace,

 0.5 g of thyme, 

0.5 g of oregano, 

0.5 g of sweet paprika powder,

 0.25 g of cardamom, and 

0.25 g of ginger powder. 

Mix these spices well with the meat.


Now, it's time to add the insert.

This is where you can get really creative. 

I recommend using around 30% extra as an insert. In my recipe, 

I used 

100 g of firm mozzarella, 

75 g of dried tomatoes (oil drained), 

75 g of olives (be mindful of the salt content), and 

25 g of fresh basil. 

Mix these ingredients with the meat mixture.


Now, let's move on to baking.

 Preheat your oven to 180°C and bake the meatloaf for 15 minutes. 

Then reduce the temperature to 120°C and continue baking. 

The baking time will depend on the size of your mold, but as a general rule, it's 1 hour per kg.

 Alternatively, you can measure the core temperature and bake until it reaches 69-72°C.


After baking, let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the mold and serve.


Now you have your very own delicious Mediterranean meatloaf! Enjoy your meal and feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. 

Thank you for watching and happy cooking!

Steak T Bone, Porterhouse Dry aged, BBQ Grill Video, littleGasthaus

 

Bernd invites to a steak dinner.


Porterhouse Dry aged
 
 Porterhouse steak that has been dry aged has a rich and full-bodied taste that is distinct and unique. Dry aging involves hanging the meat in a controlled environment for a period of time, allowing natural enzymes to break down the muscle fibers and intensify the flavor.

The taste of a dry-aged Porterhouse is often described as earthy, nutty, and slightly sweet. It has a pronounced beefy flavor with a depth and complexity that is highly sought after by steak enthusiasts. The extended aging process enhances the natural umami and creates a tender and juicy steak with a buttery texture.

The dry-aged Porterhouse also develops a distinct funkiness or musty aroma, which is a result of the aging process and the development of certain bacterial strains on the meat's surface. This aroma is often considered an acquired taste and is what sets dry-aged steak apart from other cuts.

Overall, a dry-aged Porterhouse has an incredibly robust and flavorful taste that is prized by those who enjoy the unique characteristics that come with the aging process.

      homemade German-style paprika bratwurst:

Ingredients:

  • 750 grams pork shoulder (with some fat)
  • 250 grams pork back fat
  • 15 grams salt
  • 5 grams black pepper
  • 5 grams sweet paprika
  • 2 grams smoked paprika
  • 2 grams garlic powder
  • 2 grams onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
  • Hog casings (soaked in water)

Instructions:

  1. Cut the pork shoulder and back fat into small chunks. Make sure to remove any sinew or tough parts.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pork shoulder and back fat with the salt, black pepper, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard seeds, ground caraway seeds, and ground coriander seeds. Mix well until all the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  3. Pass the mixture through a meat grinder using a fine grind disc. Alternatively, you can use a food processor to grind the meat, but make sure not to over-process it to avoid a mushy texture.
  4. Soak the hog casings in warm water to make them pliable. Rinse them thoroughly to remove any salt or debris from the packaging.
  5. Attach a sausage stuffing tube to your meat grinder or sausage stuffer. Slide the soaked hog casing onto the tube, leaving a few inches of casing hanging off the end.
  6. Fill the sausage stuffer with the ground meat mixture and start cranking or pressing the meat into the casings. Make sure to maintain an even pressure, filling the casing but avoid overstuffing.
  7. Once you have reached the desired length, twist the filled casing to form individual sausages, about 4-6 inches long. Repeat the process with the remaining meat mixture.
  8. Refrigerate the sausages for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the sausage to firm up.
  9. To cook the sausages, grill them over medium heat or pan-fry them in a skillet with a little oil until they are browned on the outside and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
  10. Serve the homemade paprika bratwurst with your favorite sides, such as sauerkraut, mustard, bread, or potato salad.

Pork belly in a jar Back to the roots of modern sausage making littleGast...


Back to the Roots of modern Sausage making

Pork belly in a jar
 
use pork belly,
bottom part where there are almost no ribs.
I got here about 750 g
Cut the meat and strips, leave the skin on 
spread some mustard over the strips
take a little piece and roll the Strip so it fits in the jar.
add 1/2 ts 😁pepper and the salt on top then add a Cluver garlic 
of course the spices depending on the size of the jars 

the best thing is to weigh to meat for exact measurement.
and that would be 21 gram of salt per kilo meat,

this is the basic amount of salt per kilo 
for about 90% of all sausages 

if you use regular salt than the meat will be sort of gray
if you use curing salt the meat will be reddish 
and look more fresh, 

The taste is the same so  it’s up to you!

So use 15.75 g salt for the 750 g of pork belly. 
That will be exactly the same amount of the German curing salt. 

And here the problems start,  
American curing salt has about 13 times
 more nitrate then German curing salt.

If you would use the 15.75 g of #1 curing salt , 
you overdose rough, 13 times the nitrate.

So you will need to divide 
15.75 g : 13 = 1,21 g       so that’s 1.21 g for the #1 cure
And then you need 12 x 1,21 g = 14,53 g  regular salt
1.21 g + 14.53 g = 15.75 g !
so now you know how to calculate, curing salt

you can make a bigger batch 
store in A jar or container with a lid.
you can stay with my recipes telling you German curing Salt
