Instruction manual
1
Inspect the purchased pork shank. If hairs remain on it, rub it with flour and scorch it on a fire.
2
Rinse the shank in plenty of running water. Scrape it with a knife if necessary to better clean.
3
Put the prepared shank in a pan and fill it with cold water so that the water is 5 cm above the shank.
4
Cover the pan with a lid and place it on high heat. Bring the contents of the pan to a boil, remove the lid and reduce heat.
5
Remove all foam from the broth surface with a spoon. Continue cooking with a slight boil of broth.
6
Peel and put the carrots and onions in the pan (this must be done one hour after the start of cooking the pork shank). There, add a few peas of black and allspice, bay leaf. Salt the broth to taste.
7
Continue cooking the shank until cooked over low heat. As soon as the meat begins to easily separate from the bones, the shank is ready.
8
Put the finished boiled shank on the dish.
9
Peel and chop several cloves of garlic.
10
Use a sharp knife to make punctures in the shank and stuff it with garlic.

You can put the boiled pork knuckle stuffed with garlic in a baking sleeve or wrap it tightly in foil. In the baking sleeve, make a few punctures with a knife through which steam will escape.

Bake the shank in the oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Then carefully unfold the foil or cut the baking sleeve and continue to bake the shank until golden brown.

Put the finished baked pork knuckle on a dish. Serve it on the table with a stew of cabbage, mashed potatoes, fresh and canned vegetables.

note
Do not bake raw pork shank in the oven! In this case, only the top layer is baked, and the meat at the bone will remain raw.
Useful advice
Before baking in the oven, if desired, you can separate the meat from the bones and bake only it.
