German roast pork knuckle
Thanksgiving is here. No roast turkey is made. A whole big pig’s knuckle.
How to roast pork knuckle in Germany
Step 1
Wash the pork knuckle to see if there is any hair and clean it up. Then wipe off the moisture
Step 2
Take the height wine and apply the surface
Step 3
Take a knife to pierce your mouth and try to make it as convenient as possible. After tying, spread evenly with salt
Step 4
Cut the carrots into cubes, shred the onion, slice the garlic, add bay leaves, cumin, salt, black pepper, and beer. Marinated pork knuckle. I put it in the fridge for a day. During this period, turn it once or twice to absorb the flavor evenly. (Carrots and onions can be used when baking the next day)
Step 5
Fish it out the next day. Try to get rid of all the spices. Steam for 45 minutes. (My elbow is a little bigger, so steam 45, if it’s smaller, it’s about 500 grams.) About 30 minutes)
Step 6
Steamed finished product. This is about 6 minutes cooked
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees for 5 minutes. Bake at 150 degrees for 1 hour and 40 minutes or two hours. If you like softer meat, you can do it for two hours. This is what it looks like in an hour and a half.
Step 8
Marinate the potatoes with black pepper and salt for a while, and then place the onion on the bottom. Carrots and potatoes are spread on the periphery, and the pork knuckle is placed on top
Step 9
Put it in the oven at 230 degrees for 20 minutes (if your oven is not very hot, turn it up to 250 degrees) to crisp the skin. Pay attention to one thing at this time. You can check it out in 10 minutes. If it’s almost 15 minutes, that’s fine. If it’s not enough, bake for 20 minutes.
Step 10
Baked.
Step 11
Cut the potatoes and carons in a circle
Step 12
This dish is mainly long. But it can definitely be a corner on the table
Cooking tips for German roast pork knuckle
The marinating time can be extended to 2-3 days to make it more flavorful. If the time is short, you can add some salt (half a day) so that it can absorb the flavor faster. The early stage is low-temperature slow roasting, and then the crispy skin is roasted over high heat. Mainly when grilling later, you must pay attention to the heat, you can bake for 10 minutes first. Then check it after 3-5 minutes.
