have been craving some crispy Bavarian Pork Knuckle.

Does anyone have a recipe they are willing to share?

I’ve not had any luck finding the full knuckle like what I’ve eaten in Germany or at german restaurants. At best I get something about a 1/3rd of the size of what I’m looking for and it ends up not being good anyway.

malrubius 969:12 		I found out from one of my local stores that the hocks they get are from baby pigs, and that’s why they are not big like in Germany. He told me that nobody will buy the big hocks. So I’m gonna try a butcher shop next. 6/16/2009 8:50:19 PM

Keep on updating! I gotta find a good recipe.

I have to admit, I tried and FAILED. unamused
I cooked a pork shank the day after I first posted this. I rubbed it with herbs. Slow cooked it with leeks and carrots. I basted it with Vitus. I was so excited.
The skin on the roast was way too thick, the roast had way too much fat. After it had cooked, it was just too uneven. Although it was edible, I wasn’t happy.

I would travel to Bavaria for a single day and back just to have on of these dishes! wink
