Schäufele
Schäufele
Schäufele is a traditional German dish. It is a flavorful and tender roasted pork shoulder or pork knuckle.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix together the caraway seeds, ground paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, making sure to coat it evenly.
- Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the skillet or roasting pan, fat side up.
- Pour the beef or vegetable broth and the dark beer (if using) into the pan. Add the bay leaves.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil or a lid and place it in the preheated oven.
- Roast the pork shoulder for about 3-4 hours, or until it becomes tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Baste the meat occasionally with the pan juices.
- Once the Schäufele is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice or shred the pork shoulder and serve it with your favorite side dishes such as Knödel, sauerkraut, or roasted potatoes.

Notes
It's always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches a safe level of at least 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
