Schweinshaxe (German Pork Knuckle)

Preparation:

  1. Wash the salted pork knuckle with water. If necessary, use a kitchen blowtorch to char away any hairs on the skin.

  2. Put the knuckle in a pot of boiling water and cook for around 5 minutes. Then, remove from the stove and rinse with water.

  3. Put the bay leaf, white pepper, white vinegar, ginger and water into a pot and boil on the stove. Once it is boiled, add the knuckle into the pot and simmer for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

  4. Dry the knuckle with kitchen paper and poke a few holes in the skin with a meat tenderizer or fork. Wipe away any oil or water that seeps from the skin afterwards.

  5. Evenly coat the surface of the knuckle with red vinegar, sugar, black pepper and thyme. Hang and air dry for about 1 hour.

  6. Place the knuckle in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius and roast for 30 minutes.

  7. To get the most out of this dish, you can pair it with a variety of side dishes based on your preferences.
