This Bavarian pork knuckle or Schweinshaxe is absolutely delicious. German comfort food at its best. I'm adding this dish as part of a collaboration about American Thanksgiving celebrated around the world. I'm not sure the Germans eat this for Thanksgiving, but they do eat them by the thousands at the Oktoberfest in Munich every year, and that's not too far off Thanksgiving 😊 As far as I can see it is one of the quintessential German dishes. If you haven't eaten schweinshaxe then you haven't eaten German food apparently 😜

Ingredients
1 pork knuckle
2 tsp caraway seeds
2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
A good pinch of salt
3 carrots roughly chopped
1 medium onion sliced
2 bay leaves
1 bulb of garlic cut in two
500ml dark beer (preferably German)
500ml beef stock
Salt and pepper to taste
Enough cornstarch slurry to thicken the gravy
2 skewers to keep the skin taut

For all you visitors to Munich and Bavaria . Roast knuckle of pork . Pick up the haxe by the protruding bone ,cut down 90 degrees , and pop the bone out . Then cut the meat at 45° angle . JOB DONE !

Schweinshaxe pronounced:
Schweins Haxe
it means pork knuckle.
I would never discard the carrots and the onion and the garlic. I would definitely eat those. 🥰

And now for the most difficult task of this recipe: finding a butcher that has whole pork shank with the skin. I swear most supermarkets and butchers will only have the high end cuts. No thanks, I want beef shin, roasts, pork cheek, pork shank, oxtails and big beef leg bones for stock. I’m through with paying $18 a pound for a steak. Braise cuts are usually tastier.

Hocks are always the last part in my freezer when I process my pigs, this looks amazing. I might try it with Spatzle.

We bavarians tend to have this with bread dumplings or potato dumplings and sometimes with hot sweet red cabbage 😊. Great job like you get it in bavaria. Best wishes to you 😊

Oh my word. The skewer insertion had me nervous. I love how much garlic you used. That shank is lucky to have met you. Listen to that skin. Brilliant job!! Thanks so much for being a consistent participant in these collabs. You are awesome my friend. Sandee

Dear Tony - loved your video and recipe! I hope you dont mind tellingl you that the pork knuckle in German is called / pronounced SCHWEINS - HAXE. You pronounce the S to the first part of the word ( SCHWEINS ) and then you add HAXE .... Best regards from Germany ... ;-) Bettina
