Postup

Krok za krokem

1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F).
Přibližně 10 min
2
Blanch the pork hocks by placing them in a large pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. This helps tenderize the skin and allows for easier scoring.
Přibližně 10 min
3
Remove the hocks from the water and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Ensure the skin is very dry to achieve maximum crispiness.
Přibližně 2 min
4
If not already scored, use a sharp knife or razor blade to score the skin of the pork hocks in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Přibližně 3 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Scoring allows fat to render out and helps the skin become super crispy.
5
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, caraway seed, and minced garlic.
Přibližně 1 min
6
Rub the seasoning mixture generously all over the pork hocks, making sure to get into the scored crevices.
Přibližně 2 min
7
Place the chopped yellow onion, carrot, and celery in the bottom of a large roasting pan.
Přibližně 1 min
8
Place the seasoned pork hocks on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.
9
Pour the dark beer and vegetable broth into the bottom of the roasting pan, around the hocks, but avoid pouring directly over the skin.
Přibližně 1 min
10
Roast for 2 hours, basting the hocks with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
Přibližně 2 h
Poznámka kuchaře: Basting keeps the meat moist and flavorful.
11
After 2 hours, increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and continue roasting for another 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden brown and very crispy.
Přibližně 1 h
Poznámka kuchaře: Keep a close eye on the skin during this final stage to prevent burning.
12
Remove the Schweinshaxe from the oven and let them rest on a cutting board for 15 minutes before serving.
Přibližně 15 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
13
Strain the pan juices into a small saucepan, pressing on the vegetables to extract all liquid. Discard the solids.
Přibližně 2 min
14
Simmer the strained pan juices over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until slightly reduced and thickened, to create a flavorful gravy.
Přibližně 10 min
15
Serve the crispy Schweinshaxe with the prepared gravy and traditional sides like sauerkraut or potato dumplings.
