Oktoberfest Recipes

In keeping with the warm, soulful flavors of classic Oktoberfest, this week’s lineup takes a trip to Europe with such Bavarian favorites as smoky bratwurst links, wholegrain mustard and our housemade tangy sauerkraut. Complemented by an array of fall all-stars like orange winter squash, Tropea onions, Badger Flame golden beets and orchard apples to incorporate into comforting side dishes, this box also includes bacon and roasted pork belly, crisp apple cider, melty fontina-style cheese and fresh pumpernickel bread—prost!

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:

How to Reheat Pork Belly
1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees
2. Remove the pork from the refrigerator to warm up slightly for about 20 minutes
3. Reheat the pork in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes or until crispy; enjoy on its own or serve alongside this week’s bratwurst!
