GERMAN PORK KNUCKLE (SCHWEINSHAXE) - SLOW ROASTED WITH CRISPY CRACKLING!
Recipe video above. Realistically, one knuckle will serve 2.

So here is a recipe that finally does! The skin is crispy all over and fabulously bubbly, shattering into a thousand porky shards when you bite instead of breaking your teeth on hard, leathery patches!Meanwhile, the flesh is seasoned with traditional flavourings and the Pork Knuckle is served with an authentic, dark and malty German beer gravy. It's every carnivore's dream come true!

Steps:
- Prick skin: Poke lots of small holes all over the pork knuckle's skin, using a small sharp knife or even a pin (eg. safety pin, sewing pin). Take care not to pierce through the fat into the flesh (Note 7).
- Vinegar: Brush (or rub) 1 tbsp of the vinegar on the pork flesh only, including inside cracks / crevices and meat under the skin where it meets the flesh (but do not peel skin back). Avoid getting vinegar on the skin.
- Stud with garlic: Make shallow incisions in the pork flesh (only) with a small knife then stuff with the garlic slivers.
- Seasoning rub: Pound the rub ingredients in a mortar and pestle until it's a coarse powder (or use a Nutribullet, spice grinder or similar).
- Rub seasoning on pork: Rub pork skin with olive oil. Then rub the seasoning mix all over the pork - on the flesh, skin, and getting into all the cracks and crevices.
- Skewer skin (secret for crispy skin! Note 8): Pull the skin down to stretch it tight so there's no creases. Then thread through 2 metal skewers in a "X" formation near the base of the knuckle. Pierce through skin 2cm / 0.8" from the base of the pork knuckle to hold the stretched skin in place.
- "Marinate" overnight: Place pork standing on a plate, then leave uncovered in the fridge overnight (Note 9).
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F (160°C fan).
- Beer gravy: Put all beer gravy ingredients in a roasting pan (deep enough to hold all liquids and vegetables).
- Rack on pan: Place a rack over the pan. Place pork knuckle on rack, sitting upright. (Note 10)
- Slow roast: Roast for 2 hours 10 minutes, rotating tray half way. (If the liquid in the pan is getting too low and in danger of drying out, top with 1/2 cup of water at a time.) Roast until the internal temperature in the thickest part of meat reaches 85°C / 185°F.
- Remove knuckle from oven, transfer knuckle to a tray.
- Increase oven: Increase oven to 260°C / 500°F (240°C fan) (Note 11)
- Brush skin with vinegar: Brush skin with 1/2 the remaining 1 tbsp of vinegar. Place in oven for 30 minutes, rotating tray halfway and brushing with remaining vinegar.
- Skin should be crispy, dip golden and mostly bubbly.
- Rest: Rest 15 minutes before serving with German Beer Gravy!
- Strain liquid: Strain roasting pan juices into a saucepan. Ideally you should have around 1.5 - 2 cups.
- Thicken: Bring liquid to a simmer. Mix cornflour and water, then pour into liquid while stirring. Add sugar and salt to taste.
- Simmer: Simmer for 2 minutes or until it becomes a thin syrup consistency (German beer gravy should not be as thick as normal gravy, but quite runny). If it's too thick, add a touch of water. Too thin, simmer to reduce - it will thicken. Serve with pork knuckle!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Test your oven with an oven thermometer to be sure it's accurate!
- Score the fat on the pork diagonally with a sharp knife in a crosshatch pattern. With a small paring knife, make a dozen 1/2-inch-deep cuts in the top and sides of the pork to allow the seasonings to permeate the meat.
- Place the garlic, onion, jalapeno, and oregano in a food processor and process until the ingredients are finely chopped. Add the cumin, chile powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper and process for 30 seconds to make a paste. Add the vinegar and olive oil and process to incorporate. Rub the mixture all over the pork, including the sides and the bottom, and place the pork in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Pour 2 cups of the wine into the pan and cover the whole roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 2 1/2 hours, remove the foil, and roast for another 4 to 4 1/2 hours, until the meat is very, very tender when tested with a carving fork. Every 2 hours, add another cup of wine to keep some liquid in the pan.
- Remove the pan from the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil, and allow the meat to rest for 15 to 30 minutes. Slice, sprinkle with salt, and serve with lime wedges on the side.

SPICE-RUBBED RIBS
For grilling, here's the rub I recommend. It's made with a wonderful blend of spices. If you have some left after making ribs, put it in a shaker and use it another day on pork or beef roasts, tenderloins, steaks and more. It's great alone or under sauce. -Cheryl Ewing, Ellwood City, Pennsylvania

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a bone-in pork roast. The bones add flavor and moisture to the meat.
- Season the pork roast generously with the spice rub. The spices will help to create a delicious crust on the outside of the meat.
- Sear the pork roast in a hot skillet before roasting it. Searing the meat will help to lock in the juices and flavor.
- Cook the pork roast in a Dutch oven or slow cooker. This will help to keep the meat moist and tender.
- Add a cup of beer to the Dutch oven or slow cooker. The beer will add flavor and moisture to the meat.
- Cook the pork roast until it is fall-apart tender. This will take about 2-3 hours in a Dutch oven or 6-8 hours in a slow cooker.
- Serve the pork roast with the beer gravy. The gravy will add even more flavor and moisture to the meat.
Conclusion:
This spice-rubbed pork roast in beer gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The pork roast is tender and flavorful, and the beer gravy is rich and creamy.
