Pork and Beer Stew (German) image

*Schweinefleisch und Bier-Eintopf* in German, this recipe is from *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny. Roz said "In several parts of Germany, breadcrumbs are used to thicken soups & stews, a brilliant idea that adds a delicious rich & slightly nutty flavour, esp when beer is used instead of stock. This recipe uses shoulder of pork, but works equally well w/beef or veal & is a wonderful warming casserole." *Enjoy* ! (15 min was allowed for ingredient prep)

This stew was a disappointment. The pork was tough, and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

This stew was just okay. The pork was a bit tough, and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I used too much salt in the recipe. Other than that, it was a good stew. The pork was tender and the sauce was flavorful.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of beer. But I'm so glad I did! The beer really adds a depth of flavor to the stew that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I'll definitely be making this again.
