Pork roasted until golden brown and served with some delicious stuffing will warm the cockles of any fan of traditional Czech cuisine. It may not be a dish for calorie-counters, but everyone should treat themselves once in a while.

Ingredients:

pork side on the bone (8 ribs)
3 onions
80 g butter
water
1 clove of garlic
salt
caraway seeds

For the stuffing:
40 g butter
1 small onion
200 g Prague ham
50 g frozen peas
4 eggs
salt

For the kale:
1 kale
50 g butter
5 cloves of garlic
2 handfuls of crackling

For the potato cakes:
800 g peeled and boiled potatoes
200 g wholemeal flour
2 eggs
salt
fat or oil

Instructions:

Cut a cavity into the pork side. Rub the meat with a mixture of crushed garlic and salt and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Sweat down a finely chopped onion and ham, mix in the peas and eggs, and season with a pinch of salt. Fill the cavity in the meat with the mixture. Cut another onion into larger pieces and arrange in the bottom of the roasting tray. Place the meat on top and sprinkle with a few knobs of butter. Bake for around 1 hour at 180 °C, then turn and finish off on the other side for around half an hour. Pour a little water over the meat every so often during the roasting process. Slice the kale into long strips, blanche for 2−3 minutes in salted water, cool quickly and leave to drain. Sweat down some garlic, add the crackling and kale, and season to taste.

Potato cakes – Grate the potatoes and mix with the other ingredients to create a dough. Roll this out into a 1cm-thick sheet (sprinkle with flour), then cut out discs using a cup. These should then be fried on both sides in the fat until golden brown.
