Thuringian Mutzbraten
A Thuringian pork roast speciality from the Mutzbraten grill
Mutzbraten or roast Mutz is a grilled piece of meat that has been marinated beforehand. Fist-sized pieces of meat from the shoulder or neck of the pig are seasoned with salt, pepper, marjoram and mustard and then marinated in black beer.
Slow grilling is done with a so-called Mutzbratenstand. As shown in the picture, the pieces of meat are put on long skewers, which are anchored in the rack of the grill. However, you should then already invite friends to a barbecue – this dish is not intended for 2 people. The finished grilled food is juicy, strongly aromatic and tastes very good. It is usually served at markets and barbecue stands along with sauerkraut and a roll.
Note: Classically, birch wood is used for grilling.
