Stuffed Pork Belly (Der Gefuellte)
2 lb. pork belly, raw (not too fatty)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 yellow turnip or carrot
1 onion
5 cloves garlic
Stuffing:
3-1/2 oz. plain bread crumbs
1 bunch parsley
3-1/2 oz. smoked ham, diced (3 1/2 oz)
3-1/2 oz. ground meat (3 1/2 oz)
1/8 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. marjoram
1 Onion, finely chopped, and sautéed until transparent
salt and pepper to taste

Cut a pocket into the pork belly, and lightly season the inside. Combine the stuffing ingredients and mix well. Stuff the pork belly with this mixture, then sew the opening shut with cooking twine. Score the fatty rind with a knife. Rub the pork belly all around with seasonings. Roast, along with the sliced turnip, until crispy. The meat will have to be turned and basted several times.
Yield: 4 servings
