• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Rub the entire roast all over with the oil and sprinkle with caraway, salt, pepper.
• Let stand for one hour.
• Spray your roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Place the vegetables into roasting pan and pour liquid of choice.
• Place the roast, fat side down, in the roasting pan on top of the vegetables.
• Cover tightly and roast for one hour.
• Remove from oven, uncover and turn roast fat side up.
• Cut decorative diamonds into the fat, insert meat thermometer and replace, uncovered, back into the oven for approximately 2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 165°F.
• Remove from oven and take out of roaster; cover with foil to preserve temperature, and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove and save the vegetables to serve on the side.
• Measure pan juices; add enough chosen liquid (water, wine, stock, or beer) to make 2 cups.
• Make a roux by blending the flour and butter together very well in a saucepan; add the pan juices and bring to a simmer.
• Slice the roast thinly and serve with the gravy on the side.
• For additional richness, the gravy may be finished with a little butter, cream or sour cream.

Steps:

• wash and pat dry roast.
• mix all dry ingredients together and rub onto roast.
• spread a liberal amount of mustard onto roast.
• heat oil in a heavy roasting pan (enameled cast iron works well) on top of stove and brown carrots and leeks.
• push vegetables aside and brown roast from all sides in the very very hot roasting pan.
• ad onions INCLUDING the brown skins (this is VERY IMPORTANT since it will give your gravy an good color).
• ad broth and transfer everything to the oven.
• roast covered for 1 1/2 hours at 350°F.
• uncover, stir onions and veggies.
• turn roast over and roast uncovered for 1 hour (if liquid evaporates a lot, add some more occasionally.
• once roasting time has finished transfer meat to a plate to rest.
• take a basting brush, dip into the hot liquid and scrub all the sides of the roasting pan (and the lid if necessary). All the brown stains on the walls of your pan will ad flavor and color to your sauce!
• strain all the liquid through a fine meshed strainer (stainless steel will work better then the plastic ones). Press solids vigorously with a spoon to press as much liquid (as well all solids that can get pressed through) through the strainer into a sauce pan and reduce slightly on high heat.
• Slice roast into 1/2 thick slices and pour gravy liberally over everthing.
• Best served with potato dumplings and sauerkraut.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Season pork loin with salt, black pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds; spread mustard over pork.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry pork until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a large roasting pan. Add onion, carrots, celeriac, and spring onion to the same skillet used to fry pork; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Spread vegetable mixture around pork in roasting pan.
• Pour 1 cup hot water into the skillet used to cook the pork and vegetables; simmer and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a spatula. Pour water over pork.
• Bake in preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, basting often. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). If vegetables become dry, add 1 cup hot water, or as needed.
• Transfer pork roast to a large platter and keep warm. Strain remaining liquid through a sieve into a saucepan; reserve vegetables.
• Bring liquid to a boil and add butter and cornstarch; simmer until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Slice pork and serve with sauce and vegetables.

Steps:

• Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stems and halving them also.
• Remove the seeds and ribs.
• Saute the beef and pork, the onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the bouillon granules, and the salt together, crumbling well, until the onion is transparent.
• Drain off the fat.
• Add the rice, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, green onions and soy sauce.
• Mix well.
• Stuff this mixture into peppers.
• Mix the hot water and the remaining 1 tsp bouillon granules.
• Pour this into a shallow casserole large enough to hold all the peppers.
• Place the stuffed peppers in the dish.
• (The water in the dish allows the peppers to steam while retaining some of their crispness).
• Cover the casserole with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes.
• Remove the foil and spoon a little juice over the peppers; bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
