Pork Knuckle Baked Recipe

In a close friendly company, but over a glass of beer, at one of the New Year’s Eve dinners, serve this dish to the table. It’s so amazing that after a portion of tender, fragrant meat you will see that life is serene and beautiful!

  • 1piece Knucklepork, weighing 1.2-1.1 kg
Broth-marinade:
The mixture for baking:
Instructions
  1. It is not difficult to prepare a knuckle, but it must be prepared in advance. First you need to soak in water, and then in the marinade. Thoroughly clean and soak in cold water for 6-12 hours. The knuckle should be completely submerged in water. During this time, change the water twice.
  2. Now prepare the marinade. For extinguishing, it is better to take a deep and narrow pan so that only the knuckle fits into it. Heat the water a little and add some prepared spices – bay leaf, allspice, salt and sugar. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.

Cook on low heat for 2-2. 5 hours or until the meat is completely soft, turning it over periodically. Then remove the knuckle from the broth and cool.
  4. Prepare the baking mixture. Grate or squeeze garlic, mix with honey, mustard powder and a mixture of red peppers,
  5. lubricate the knuckle with this mixture from all sides, leave a little for re-lubrication. Put the sauerkraut in a baking dish (do not ignore this moment). Fill it with broth, a couple of tablespoons. Place the prepared knuckle on top. We send it to a preheated 180 degree oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes until a uniform golden crust is formed. In the middle of baking, turn the knuckle over and brush with the remaining mixture. If there is a grill in your oven, turn it on, the crust will become even tastier! In the process of extinguishing, the fat from the knuckle melted.
