Prep Time : 15 Minutes Cook Time :  4 Hours Ingredients : 1.5 Kg.Pork Knuckle (Schweinshaxe) Salt Pepper 1 bottle Dark Bavarian Beer, 2 Garlic cloves 1 onion rough chopped 1 Teaspoon Caraway seed Directions : One trick for getting the skin nice and crispy is to leave the uncovered pork knuckle dry in the fridge overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Rub Pork Knuckle with the cloves of garlic. Put the Knuckle on the roasting pan, moisten with a just a bit of beer and rub with salt and pepper. sprinkle whole or ground caraway seed on the skin. Place Knuckle on a bed of rough chopped onion. This keeps it from sticking to the pan and leaves a lovely seasoned broth to be used for gravy. Roast in an oven for about 4 hours. Pour some beer in the dish bottom after an hour  to keep things moist. After the skin has started to crisp  baste with beer about every 45 minutes When it hits 200 degrees internal temperature turn the oven up to 450 degrees , pour a little  beer over the pork knuckle and crisp the skin for about 10 -15 minutes until skin is crispy. it should crackle and cut easy. If it is tough it is not crisp enough. Serve with sauerkraut or braised red cabbage (Rotkohl) and roasted potatoes. When you cut into the Pork Knuckle,  the meat is butter soft and you can cut it with a fork.It is traditional to serve 1 knuckle per person. However with larger knuckles, you can bring the  dish to the table on a large platter and serve slices. Be sure to give some skin to each person, that is one of the best parts.       --------------------------------------------------- Images: http://inhousebutchers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Roasted-Pork-Knuckle-Schweinshaxe-.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2017-04-28 08:23:56 Post date GMT: 2017-04-28 08:23:56 Post modified date: 2017-04-28 08:28:23 Post modified date GMT: 2017-04-28 08:28:23 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
