GOETTA RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Line the pot with the bag. Bring water, salt, bay leaves and pepper to boil in a slow cooker set to High. (If this isn't happening, cheat... start it up on the stove... and dump in to a warmed up crock pot that has a little water in it already). Stir in steel cut oats, cover, and cook 90 minutes. In a large bowl, mix beef, pork, onions and garlic. Stir into the oat mixture, and reduce heat to Low. Cover, and continue cooking 1.5 - 2 hours, stirring occasionally. SPECIAL NOTE: I had doubled the original recipe the first time and had 5 cups of oats and 4 cups of meat... NO WAY it would all fit in the crock pot. If the mixture seems to be too much to add to the crock pot at this time, simply take it out after the oats are finished cooking and transfer to a large roasting pan (such as a Turkey Roaster). Set the temp to 300 degrees. Mix the Oats and Meat together and continue cooking in oven for about 90 minutes, stirring every 30 minutes. Continue to the next step... everything will be fine. Remember, you are only partially cooking the Goetta. It will be fully cooked when you fry it for breakfast. Transfer the mixture to a medium baking pan/ loaf pans lined with plastic wrap (easier to remove and clean), and cool until semi-solid by chilling 1 hour or more in the refrigerator, or until firm. I did this at night, so I covered with plastic wrap and left in refrigerator overnight. After completely cooled, turn out onto wax paper onto cutting board, and cut into thin slices. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Cook slices one at a time in the heated oil until evenly brown on each side. You can freeze the slices up to 3 months if you are not ready to eat the entire mixture at once. Just put freezer paper between slices. Pull out and defrost what you need and fry up one at time when ready. Be careful in oil, if any frozen ice hits the oil.

HOMEMADE GERMAN GOETTA EASY RECIPE

Steps:

• Use a large pot to mix the oats, beef broth, water, salt, bay leaves and dried marjoram. Keep the pot on medium-high flame and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduces the flame to low. Let the pot be on low flame for about 90 minutes. This gives enough time for the oats to become soft and for the contents to absorb all the liquid. In the thick mixture, you should now add the beef, pork and all other spices. Keep the flame on high so that the mixture boils quickly. Once it starts to boil, reduce the flame to low, and let the contents cook on low flame for an hour. Ensure that you stir the contents occasionally, so that they don't stick to the sides or bottom of the pot. You can keep the pot closed while cooking if the liquid has been absorbed in the first stage. If not, you should leave the pot open. After an hour, you will notice that the mixture has turned thick. At this stage, switch off the flame. Then, pour the mixture into a couple of grease cans (having a dimension of 9 x5) and allow it to cool down completely. Once it has cooled down, cover the grease cans with a plastic wrap and let it settle in the refrigerator throughout the night. In the morning, you can take the mixture out and cut them into thick slices of at least ½ inch thickness, so that they don't break apart. Fry these slices on a non-stick pan, on a medium-high flame, without adding any oil. Each side would need about 4 to 5 minutes to get cooked. Once they have turned golden brown, you can switch off the flame. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors of this dish.
