Heat vinegar and water together. Dice onion and add it and spices and greens to mixture. Put meat in a container (not plastic or metal) and pour mixture over it. Let meat sit in this marinade in a cool (not cold!) place for 3 or 4 days, turning occasionally.
Remove meat from marinade and wipe dry. Smear with bacon fat and salt and pepper lightly. Sear meat on all sides in the fat; add 2 ladlefuls of the liquid marinade and the drained vegetables and spices. Lay the piece of bread in the sauce. Roast for 2 to 2 ½ hours at 350 F.
½ hour before the end of cooking pour 1 cup of the sour cream on the roast and baste more frequently. At end remove roast and let rest while you prepare sauce.
Sauce: Mix remaining sour cream with flour and then add to sauce in roasting pan. On the stovetop bring it to a quick boil, and then rub it through a sieve to mince herbs, spices and onion. Pour this sauce over slices of roast and serve with potato salad!
Guten apetit!
