Swedish Pork Roast Recipes

SWEDISH POT ROAST

Steps:

• Combine cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt and pepper. Rub into all sides of roast. Heat Dutch oven or pressure cooker/InstantPot pot (if using one of these), pour in the cooking oil and brown the roast on all sides.
• To the pot, add sliced onions, garlic and brown sugar dissolved in the vinegar or wine, water and bay leaves.
• If using Dutch Oven: place lid over Dutch Oven, and roast in 250F oven for 6-6 1/2 hours until meat literally falls apart when you lift it from the Dutch Oven.
• If using Pressure Cooker or Instant Pot: Close and lock Pressure Cooker. Heat until Pressure Regulator begins rocking slowly. After 40 minutes of rocking, turn off heat and let pressure drop of its own accord. For Instant Pot, set at High Pressure for 45 minutes. After cooking, let pressure drop naturally before opening and serving.
• If using Crock Pot, Cook roast and all ingredients on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 8-9 hours.
• Serve roast with roasted potatoes and carrots, along with sauce from the meat.

SWEDISH CURED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Rinse meat well and pat dry. Place in a glass dish large enough to hold it. In a separate small bowl, combine the sugar, salt, cumin and cardamom. Mix well and rub liberally over the entire roast. Cover and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect heat and lightly oil grate.
• Remove roast from the refrigerator and discard any juices in the dish. Rinse meat well and pat dry.
• Grill over indirect low heat for about 1 hour, or until internal pork temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

SWEDISH CORNED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• In a large stainless steel pot or pickling crock, mix the water, pickling salt, and saltpeter together until dissolved. Untie the pork roast and place in the pickling solution. Place a heavy plate on top of the pork so that it will remain submerged.
• Cover and refrigerate for 10 days. Check occasionally to be sure the pork is covered by the liquid.
• After 10 days, remove the pork and retie it into a roast. Rinse well with fresh water. Place the roast in a large cooking pot, cover with cold water, and add the remaining ingredients: bay leaves, peppercorns and whole allspice.
• Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 2 hours 15 minutes.
• Slice the pork and place on large platter.
• Serve with Sweet and Hot Mustard.
