Pork knuckle is one of the few dishes that have come down to us from the European Middle Ages almost in its original form. Only today it is not necessary to roast the meat on a spit, but it is enough to bake the pork knuckle in the oven. There are many ways to cook juicy tasty pork - in a marinade on beer, cider or wine, with cabbage, potatoes or vegetables. One of the simplest step-by-step recipes for baking a knuckle in the oven involves cooking the knuckle in foil with spices.

How to cook Pork knuckle in the oven

Step 1

Prepare the marinade. Mix all the dry ingredients in a container. Mix the garlic and onion with the other marinade ingredients. Add white wine vinegar and stir. Boil water and pour boiling water over the herbs and spices. Place the knuckle in the marinade and turn the meat over until it is completely covered with the mixture. Leave the knuckle to marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Step 2

Make the sauce. Mix honey and mustard in a bowl, taste and add salt to taste.

Step 3

Bake the meat. Mix the garlic cloves with salt. Remove the knuckle from the marinade, make deep cuts on the meat with a knife about 4-5 cm apart and insert the garlic plates there. Wrap the knuckle in foil, leaving no gaps, and place in an oven preheated to 250 degrees. Bake the pork knuckle for 1 hour.

Step 4

Finish cooking. Remove the pork knuckle from the oven, unwrap the foil and bake for another 30 minutes until the crust is thick and golden brown.
