Groninger rolled roast & mustard soup from the kamado

Gepubliceerd op

Groningen at its tastiest: a low & slow cooked rolled roast with a real smoky flavour, paired with a creamy mustard soup you simply won't buy in the shop. This recipe shows what happens when you put a keij kamado large to work for true North-Netherlands classics.

The kamado keeps temperature stable at low heat, so the meat gets juicier hour by hour. You cook the soup on the BBQ at the same time, with some smoke chips added for that subtle depth a regular pan never gives. Serving together is the plan — this dish calls for a table full of people.

Equipment

  • Kamado BBQ
  • Indirect cooking grate / heat deflector
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cast-iron pan or heatproof pot
  • Aluminium foil
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Wooden spoon
  • Deep plates or bowls

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg Groninger rolled roast (pork or veal rollade)
  • 2 tbsp coarse Groninger mustard (for the rolled roast)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Handful of smoke chips (alder or cherry wood)
  • For the mustard soup:
  • 30 g butter
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 liter chicken stock
  • 150 ml heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp coarse Groninger mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Chives, finely chopped (garnish)
  • A drizzle of heavy cream (garnish)

How to make Groninger rolled roast and mustard soup on the kamado?

  1. Light your kamado and stabilize the temperature at 160 degrees Celsius (indirect heat). Place a handful of smoke chips (alder or cherry wood) on the glowing coals.
  2. Place the rolled roast indirectly on the grate, close the kamado and let the meat cook gently until it reaches an internal temperature of 68 degrees Celsius. This takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Check regularly with a meat thermometer.
  3. Start the soup after an hour. Put a cast-iron pan or heatproof pot directly on the grate next to the rolled roast (or on a cast-iron trivet over the coals in the indirect zone). Melt a knob of butter and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the flour and stir well. Then slowly pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and the coarse Groninger mustard. Let the soup simmer on low heat with the lid on so it picks up a subtle smoky flavour.
  5. Taste the soup halfway through and season with extra mustard, salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Let it simmer gently for at least another 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the rolled roast from the grate once the internal temperature reaches 68 degrees. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Then slice into nice pieces.
  7. Ladle the mustard soup into deep plates or bowls. Place a few slices of rolled roast next to the soup or serve separately on a wooden board. Garnish the soup with a drizzle of heavy cream and some chopped chives. Enjoy.

Why does this recipe work so well on a kamado? The ceramic walls trap heat and smoke perfectly. That gives the rolled roast that deep, subtle smoky flavour you never achieve with a regular BBQ or oven. And the soup picks up the same smoke while it simmers. Two dishes, one fire, one flavour that brings everything together.

Want to take this dish further? Try rubbing the rolled roast the evening before and let it rest overnight in the fridge. The flavours penetrate deeper and the result on the kamado is even more impressive. Serve with fresh bread for the soup and you have a complete Groninger table.
