Flaeskesteg
Also known as: Flæskesteg
Danish pork loin with crisp crackling, with gravy and red cabbage suggested alongside.
About Flaeskesteg
Arla's Anders Kiil presents this flæskesteg as a Christmas pork roast with crisp crackling. The rind-covered loin is the centre of the dish, with salt defining the simple seasoning.
The crackling gives the roast a crisp contrast to the meat beneath. Pork juices also provide the base for the suggested brown gravy, whose butter and cream bring richness.
Boiled potatoes, sweet-sour red cabbage and pickled cucumber are suggested classic accompaniments. The roast remains the centrepiece, with slices of pork and crackling set against the colourful cabbage and gravy.
