Sauerbraten


Ingredients


3 tablespoons pickling spice


2 onions, sliced


1 carrot, sliced


1 cup water


1 cup dry red wine


1 cup Burgundy


1 tablespoon salt


1/2 teaspoon pepper


2 bay leaves


1 (4-pound) sirloin tip roast


3 tablespoons vegetable oil


1/4 cup all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon sugar


3/4 cup crushed gingersnaps (about 12)


Preparation


Tie pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag.





Combine spice bag, onion, and next 7 ingredients in a shallow dish or large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add roast. Cover or seal, and chill 8 hours, turning occasionally.





Remove roast from marinade, reserving marinade.





Brown roast in hot oil in a Dutch oven. Remove roast, reserving drippings in pan. Whisk flour and sugar into reserved drippings, and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, 2 minutes or until browned. Gradually stir in reserved marinade. Return roast to pan; bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 1/2 hours.





Discard spice bag and bay leaves. Remove roast, reserving drippings in pan; slice and keep warm.





Stir gingersnaps into reserved drippings in Dutch oven; simmer, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Pour mixture through a colander into a bowl. Press vegetables through colander with back of a spoon. Serve gravy with roast.

There are lots of ';healthy'; German recipes!


For one, a lot of people eat ';Abendbrot'; for dinner, which is fresh bread that they top with sliced meats and cheeses etc, that's pretty healthy if you watch the fat contents of things. It's kind of like a buffet style family dinner and lots of people eat fresh tomatoes and radishes and cucumbers at that occasion, too.


And there are lots of seasonal things like asparagus recipes etc., that's healthy.


I'd try to find a German recipe site on google.
