Learn how to cook "Pork shank in beer with sauerkraut and garlic". Delicious recipe.
Required products :
pork shank - about 2 kilograms
2 liters of dark beer
1 onion
1 carrot
100 grams of celery root
1 head of garlic
3 bay leaves
3 grains of black pepper
3 grains of allspice
3 cloves
a pinch of cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 kg of sauerkraut
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon meat broth
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the sauce:
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon honey
a little soy sauce if desired
Method of preparation :
Wash the shank, put it in a suitable saucepan, pour the beer (it should completely cover the shank) and bring to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables and spices.
Peel an onion and put cloves in your head. Carrots and celery cut into large pieces, garlic can be divided into cloves or use the whole head.
When the beer boils, reduce the heat and remove the foam.
Add carrot, celery, bay leaves, cumin, salt, allspice, black pepper and garlic. Close the pan with a lid and cook for 2 hours on low heat. In the middle of cooking, turn the shank on the other side to cook evenly.
Make the garnish.
Cut onions into semicircles and fry lightly in hot oil. Drain the sauerkraut from the liquid, add it to the onion and fry over medium heat, stirring. When the cabbage is fried, pour the meat broth, add coriander and cumin. Simmer for 30 - 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing honey, mustard and 2 tablespoons of the beer broth in which the shank was boiled.
Remove the shank from the pan, let it drain from the liquid and spread it on all sides with the resulting sauce.
Preheat the oven. Pour the cabbage into a suitable pan, put the shank on it and place in the oven for 30 minutes at 160 degrees. Every 5 minutes, open the oven and pour the sauce and beer broth over the shank. This will form a beautiful crust.
Enjoy your meal!
