Steps

1
Done
3 hours

cooking pork knuckle in beer

1. We burn the pork knuckle a little with a culinary gas burner this will add a spicy, campfire flavor to the dish.
2. Wash the onion and cut it into 2 parts.
3. Peel the carrots and cut them into 4 parts.
4. Place the pork knuckle in a large saucepan (capacity 6-7 liters), fill with dark beer. Beer can be replaced with kvass. The beer should completely cover our pork knuckle so that it cooks evenly.
5. Place onion, carrots, bay leaf, black pepper, garlic, chopped chili pepper and the peel of one orange into the pan with the shank.
6. Cover our pork knuckle with a lid and cook over medium heat for 3 hours.

1 hour 30 min.

roasting pork knuckle in the oven

1. Mix honey, juice of half an orange, mix thoroughly until smooth.
2. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, remove the pork knuckle from the pan, and place it on the baking sheet.
3. Coat the pork knuckle with honey-orange sauce and bake in oven at 320°F (160°C) for 1.5 hours. If you see that the pork knuckle is burning too much, you can put baking foil on top without completely wrapping it.
4. Before serving, directly in the oven in the last minutes of cooking, brush the pork knuckle with sauce.
5. Serve the knuckle hot; the traditional side dish for pork knuckle is sour (sauerkraut) cabbage.

Bon appetit!
