Pork knuckle with suneli hops in a pan on the stove

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Here are all the necessary ingredients: we will need some right away, and some after 3 hours, but first things first...

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the pork knuckle well, peel off the skin with a knife if necessary.

3. STEP 3

   

   Change the water and set the knuckle to cook

4. STEP 4

   

   Bring to a boil and skim off the foam. This is important to do so that the broth remains clear. We will cook for a total of 2-3 hours until the shank is soft

5. STEP 5

   

   After 1.5 hours add peppercorns

6. STEP 6

   

   And bay leaf

7. STEP 7

   

   Add onions and carrots

8. STEP 8

   

   Salt. Cook until the shanks are ready, about another 1-1.5 hours. It is very important not to overcook the shank so that it remains intact and does not fall apart when we take it out of the pan.

9. STEP 9

   

   Carefully remove the shank from the broth, and the broth can be used to prepare delicious borscht, for example

10. STEP 10

    

    Cut the knuckle lengthwise along the bone

11. STEP 11

    

    We take out the bone - our knuckle is very soft and this is very easy to do

12. STEP 12

    

    Add a little salt, sprinkle with ground black pepper and squeeze the garlic through a press. Rub the shank well evenly with garlic, hops-suneli and pepper with salt. At this stage, you can put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes - this will give the shank a slightly different taste

13. STEP 13

    

    Now we roll the shank into a roll and tie it with thread. It is very convenient that the shank does not remain on the skin - it serves as a shell for us

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the shank in a bag or wrap it in cling film

15. STEP 15

    

    Place under a press in a cool place overnight

16. STEP 16

    

    In the morning we cut the shank and try it! Very tender and tasty! Bon appetit!
