Alton calls for straining the sauce again, but I liked thickness of it so I skipped that step. Heat gently until thickened (it didn't take long for mine to thicken, about a minute). Pour the sauce through a strainer to remove the solids, then return to the braising dish and stir in the crushed gingersnaps. When the meat is done, remove it from the liquid and keep warm. The marinade will reduce considerably, and become thick and rich. ![]() The meat doesn't need to be submerged, there just needs to be some liquid.

With the strong caramelized flavors of the meat and the pungency of the sauce, the creamy mildness of boiled potatoes ended up being a superior pairing.Įlin and I devoured this roast on Sunday with the late afternoon light waning. For the potatoes, I resisted my urge to roast them (it's by far my favorite way to prepare new potatoes) and followed the more traditional German way of boiling them.
