Equipment
stovetop, oven, knife, cutting board, mixing bowl, small bowl, skillet, wooden spoon, roasting pan, lid, kitchen needle, kitchen twine
Instructions
- Set Up
Gather and measure all ingredients, plus a knife, board, bowl, skillet, roasting pan, lid, needle, twine, tongs, and thermometer. · 10 min
What to look for: All measured ingredients and tools are within reach.
- Cut Pocket
Cut a deep pocket along the length of the pork brisket, keeping the sides and far end intact so the filling will stay enclosed. · 8 min
What to look for: The brisket opens like a long pouch without holes.
- Soften Roll
Soak the stale roll in cool water for 5 minutes, squeeze it nearly dry, and crumble it into a mixing bowl. · 6 min
What to look for: The roll is soft but not dripping wet.
- Sauté Onion
Melt 30 g butter in a skillet, add the diced onion, and cook gently until glossy, soft, and lightly golden at the edges. · 7 min
What to look for: The onion is translucent with a pale golden color.
- Mix Stuffing
Add beaten egg, sautéed onion, parsley, marjoram, half the salt, and half the pepper to the roll, then mix until cohesive. · 5 min
What to look for: The stuffing holds together when pressed with a fork.
- Stuff Brisket
Season the pork with the remaining salt and pepper, fill the pocket firmly with stuffing, and sew the opening closed with twine. · 12 min
What to look for: The pocket is full and the seam is tightly closed.
- Brown Meat
Melt the remaining butter in a roasting pan, add the stuffed brisket, and brown it on all sides without piercing the seam. · 8 min
What to look for: The outside is evenly browned and smells buttery.
- Roast Covered
Cover the pan and roast at 170°C / 338°F for 90 minutes, basting once with pan juices if they collect around the meat. · 1 h 30 min
When it is done: Insert the thermometer into the thickest meat, not the stuffing; it should read 75°C / 167°F.
- Rest Uncovered
Rest the roast for 10 minutes, then cut away the twine carefully while keeping the stuffing in place. · 10 min
What to look for: The juices settle and the seam stays intact after twine removal.
- Serve Slices
Slice the stuffed brisket into thick portions across the pocket and serve warm with the buttery pan juices spooned over. · 3 min
What to look for: Each slice shows a clear band of bread and herb stuffing.
