Preparation method
- Coarsely chop the celeriac, carrots, onion, leek and garlic.
- Brown the pork cheeks and ribs in the oven at 200°C.
- Put them, together with the rind and the pig's trotters in a pan with cold water.
- As soon as the water boils skim off the protein foam.
- Add the chopped vegetables, herbs, spices and salt.
- Leave to infuse for 6-8 hours. Ensure that the broth remains just below boiling point.
- After the preparation time has elapsed, remove the coarse ingredients carefully with a skimmer.
- Pour the broth through a sieve lined with a damp passing cloth.
- Allow to cool completely and skim off the fat layer that has formed on top.
- Allow to evaporate to the desired consistency.
Serving suggestions
