It is necessary
-
- pork knuckle;
- 1 carrot;
- 1 onion;
- salt;
- water;
- Bay leaf;
- black peppercorns;
- allspice;
- garlic.
Instructions
Step 1
Examine the purchased pork knuckle. If there are hairs left on it, rub it with flour and burn it over the fire.
Step 2
Rinse the shank with plenty of running water. Scrape it with a knife if necessary to clean it better.
Step 3
Put the prepared shank in a saucepan and fill it with cold water so that the water is 5 cm higher than the shank.
Step 4
Cover the pot with a lid and place over high heat. Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil, remove the lid and reduce the heat.
Step 5
Use a spoon to scoop all the foam off the broth. Continue cooking with the broth at a low boil.
Step 6
Peel and place the carrots and onions in a saucepan (this should be done an hour after you start boiling the pork shank). Add a few black and allspice peas, bay leaf there. Season with salt to taste.
Step 7
Continue cooking the shank until cooked over low heat. As soon as the meat begins to easily separate from the bones, the shank is ready.
Step 8
Put the finished boiled knuckle on a dish.
Step 9
Peel and chop a few cloves of garlic.
Step 10
Make punctures in the shank with a sharp knife and stuff it with garlic.
Step 11
Place the stuffed pork knuckle on a baking sheet. Place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake the shank until a delicious golden crust appears.
Step 12
You can put a boiled pork knuckle stuffed with garlic in a roasting sleeve or wrap it tightly in foil. In the baking sleeve, make several punctures with a knife through which steam will escape.
Step 13
Bake the knuckle in the oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Then carefully unfold the foil or cut open the baking sleeve and continue baking the shank until golden brown.
Step 14
Put the finished baked pork knuckle on a dish. Serve with a side dish of stewed cabbage, mashed potatoes, fresh and canned vegetables.
Bon Appetit!
