• 1 slice(s) bacon, streaky
• 2 tbsp meat broth, clear (powder from the jar)

• Mustard

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Finely slice the onion and sauté in oil until light yellow. Deglaze with 1 1/2 liters of water, add the pork belly and streaky bacon, bring to a boil, then stir in the two tablespoons of meat stock. Cover and simmer at a moderate heat for about 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, trim and dice the swede. Also dice the vegetables and potatoes. After 1 1/2 hours of cooking, remove both the pork belly and bacon from the pot, add the swede, vegetables, and potatoes to the pot, and bring to a boil. Remove any gristle, bones, and rind from the meat and bacon, shred with a fork, and add to the swede. Season the stew well with pepper and simmer for about 1 hour. Finally, season with mustard and, if desired, add more pepper and meat stock. Then I tackle the turnips by mashing them three times with a potato masher, cut the mettenden or bregenwurst into slices and let them simmer in the stew with the lid closed for another 10 minutes.
