"If you love slow-cooked dishes, then Sauerbraten, the classic, sweet and sour German pot roast, is for you. Sure, it takes some time to prepare, but it’s more than worth the effort. A pinot noir matches particularly well with sauerbraten and you can also use it for cooking. I used traditional ‘Aachener Printen’ which are a special, chewy gingerbread cookie, but you can substitute them for any soft, spiced gingerbread."
