Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix minced garlic, caraway seeds, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin and let it marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the onions and sauté them in olive oil over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Pork Loin

    Make a deep cut along the length of the pork loin, creating a pocket. Stuff the caramelized onions into the pocket of the pork loin.

  4. 4

    Grill the Pork Loin

    Preheat the grill. Place the stuffed pork loin on the spit and grill over medium heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).

  5. 5

    Prepare the Red Cabbage

    Finely shred the red cabbage and sauté it in a pan with olive oil. Add vinegar and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the pork loin and serve it alongside the red cabbage and house spätzle.
