Never heard of roast meat? It is a very regional specialty from the east of the republic, more precisely from Thuringia and Saxony. This is how the recipe works.
- Mutzbraten comes mainly from the Schmölln and Altenburg area in East Thuringia and from the Thuringian woodland.
- The dish is a "snack bar", but is also prepared privately.
- Mutzbraten is cooked in a special Mutzbratenstands, but it can also be done in the oven.
There is no dirt in real life. Just like the Bavarian Wolpertinger, Mutz is a legendary being. Nevertheless, there is a roast meat. It's easy if you plan ahead and observe the 24 hours the roast needs to marinate ...
Recipe for roast meat: What piece of meat do we use?
This is a normal pig's neck . This is cut into pieces approximately eight by eight centimeters in size. Say: cubes of meat. Either you do it yourself or ask the butcher immediately.
Marinating the roast meat - important here: turn once!
When roasting meat, there are only three spices that find their way into the meat: salt, pepper and marjoram. These are used to rub the meat cubes and move them into a bowl (covered!) In the fridge. The spices are allowed to soak in there for 24 hours . Don't forget: turn the meat once after twelve hours. If you want, you can also marinate your meat for three days and nights.
Also delicious and quick in the oven: Mediterranean-style meatballs.
Recipe for roast meat: preparation on skewers or in the oven
The grilled meat is typically prepared by professionals on a grilled grill. We give it to ourselves - that is, we buy such a grill or do it ourselves. This leaves two options: grilling on a rotisserie ( i.e. a rotisserie) on the gas grill or in the kettle grill. And if you don't have either grill, just put the roast or the pieces on the grill in the oven. But don't forget to put a drip pan under the grate to catch leaking meat juices and fats so that they don't burn. It is best to add a little water to the bowl.
The side dishes for the roast meat - because who wants to eat meat only?
When the roast is finished, the question arises: what to eat? Typically there is sauerkraut *, bread and medium hot mustard . But what also tastes delicious: Cut thin slices and prepare a grilled bread roll with a leaf of green salad, fresh onions and mustard.

Extra tip: Use any remaining grilled meat
If meat roast is left over, it is a good idea to keep it. With a little vinegar and oil, thin slices are layered in a baking dish. And from there in the fridge. A very fine topping for bread and rolls for dinner.
