Cooking method

  • This is how Food turned out. And nothing boded ... and the weather, moreover, was not conducive to culinary exercises in the street. But then everything went like that and….
  • I caught my eye on the knuckle market. Lying so ... lonely in the corner of the counter. No one wants. I felt sorry for her. And the feeling is such a pity ... As a result, not one, but three shanks were in the asset.

  • Shanks from a domestic pig. And when they, forgive me, pigs, are cut, then the skins are singed. Therefore, the first step is to clean the skin well. Dross is not dross, but there is no need for excess at all. Various sources recommend cutting the skin and not cutting it. Therefore, just in case, I made incisions on one. I didn’t use others.

  • I put the knuckles in a saucepan. Salted and sprinkled with a mixture of seasonings "for meat".
  • What is there? In this mixture. Honestly, I don't remember the details, but coriander, red pepper and something else ... fragrant, spicy and ... in general, it is written on the jar "for meat", which means there is no reason not to add it.

  • And then we fill all this splendor with dark beer. I love Czech and recommend it to you. It took two liters. In general, to cover the knuckles with beer.
  • And we send the knuckles to marinate. Let them sit in the spiced beer. At least two hours, if they stay longer, it won't get any worse.

  • While the shanks are pickled, we will prepare everything that we need to "cook the shanks." Take a couple of leaves of lavrushka, black peppercorns, a tablespoon with the top of a mixture of roots for broth, a spoonful of a mixture of herbs. There is oregano, thyme, rosemary. And the roots are parsley, parsnips, celery.

  • Peel and chop the carrots coarsely, and the onion - peel and rinse well from the upper husk.

  • When I put the knuckles to cook, I was most interested in the question - will there be scale or not? I brewed shanks in beer for the first time. Scale has formed. There was much less of her. But it was denser than when boiled in water.
  • We naturally remove scale. Then the knuckles must be allowed to boil for another five minutes. So that no more scale is formed.
  • And then add all the roots and herbs to the pan.

  • Boil the knuckles on very low heat for about an hour and a half. Until their full readiness.

  • Here they are. Pork shanks cooked in beer.
  • And the aroma, which is ... very, you know, specific.
  • I took them out of the pot and put them in a colander. So that all excess moisture of the glass and shanks is slightly dry.

  • We are preparing the smoking process. We will smoke on pear chips. You need a handful of chips and a half. No more.
  • We put the dried knuckles on the grate.

  • And we turn on the fire under the smokehouse. Or do we breed? In general, we begin the smoking process.
  • Smoked knuckle in beer
  • Literally twenty minutes. Not more. So that the shanks are just slightly smoked. This is the kind formed.
  • Smoked knuckle in beer
  • Eye-catching. You yourself, you know, was surprised.
  • And then we cut. With a knife.
  • Something like that.
  • Angela for you at your meal!

  • And conclusions:
  • If suddenly something, I explain - purely personal.
  • I don't see the point of boiling a knuckle in beer. Pork meat itself is quite heavy and ... in general, pure IMHO, but I did not like the meat cooked purely in beer at all. If you dilute this beer or just use beer in stewing as an additional factor, then maybe "yes". And so - "no".
  • Smoke. Here you really need a handful of sawdust and smoke for no more than 15 - 20 minutes. So that smoking is present with such an unobtrusive note. I overdid it a bit.
  • With spices ... nothing was needed except roots and pepper with lavrushka. Well, and salt - of course.
  • Something like that.…

Ivanych, and what didn't you like about beer brewing? Smack? Maybe not dark, but light?
I only ate chicken cooked in beer once at a party (it was delicious), but I never did anything in it myself. So I wonder what happened to you that turned out to be superfluous?
I agree about spices, when I read it, I thought that the bouquet turned out to be huge)))
Well, so, to the eye - it is impossible to look at your knuckle without salivation - and blush, and you can see that the meat is the softest.

Ikra, not that I didn’t like it ... just didn’t make any special impression.
