Pork knuckle in a slow cooker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pork knuckle in a slow cooker? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. It is advisable to prepare the shank in advance - at least a day before the celebration. It will take approximately 12 hours to marinate and another 12 hours to simmer in a slow cooker.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the pork knuckle and dry it. If there is skin on the shank, clean it with a knife. My knuckle was already sold without skin.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the garlic. Cut each clove lengthwise into 2 parts. If you wish, you can use more garlic or replace fresh garlic with 2 tbsp. l. dry.

4. STEP 4

   

   Combine soy sauce and mustard in a bowl. Stir.

5. STEP 5

   

   Use a knife to make deep punctures in the shank on all sides. Stuff the leg with garlic.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rub the shank on all sides with salt and pepper, sprinkle with dried herbs. Keep in mind that in addition to salt, soy sauce is used (albeit in small quantities) so as not to oversalt the meat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Coat the pork with soy mustard sauce.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the shank on a large piece of foil folded in half and wrap tightly, lifting the edges of the foil up so that the marinade does not leak out. Place the shank to marinate in the refrigerator for 10-12 hours.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the meat wrapped in foil into the multicooker bowl and close the lid.

10. STEP 10

    

    Set the “Multi-cook” program and the temperature to 80°C. Cooking time - 12-13 hours.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the finished shank from the bowl. It turns out very soft and juicy. The meat comes off the bone easily. Unfold the foil. If you wish, you can additionally put the meat in an oven preheated to 200°C for 15-20 minutes to obtain a light golden brown crust.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the pork knuckle on a platter and serve with any side dish. Bon appetit!

I decided to make pork knuckle in a slow cooker. I didn’t remove the skin from it, I just cleaned it well with a knife, washed it and dried it with napkins. For the marinade, I mixed mustard with soy sauce and immediately added salt, ground black pepper, and my favorite dry herbs. I stuffed the shank with garlic cloves, rubbed it with mustard-soy marinade, wrapped it tightly in foil and put it in the refrigerator for 12 hours. I cooked it in a multicooker in the “stew” mode for 9 hours (my assistant does not support the “multi-cook” function). The multicooker does not require special attention during the cooking process, so I turned it on overnight. Early in the morning I was awakened by the most delicious aroma!!! The shank turned out tender, the meat easily separated from the bones, and the skin was also very soft. I didn't need an oven. In my opinion it turned out perfect! Delicious both hot and cold. Great way to cook. I'm happy to add this recipe to my stash! Thank you, Maria!

Cook without adding water to the bowl? Did I understand correctly?
