Oven-baked pork knuckle

Ingredients

Smoked pork knuckle - 21.2 oz
Garlic - 1 head
Tkemali - to taste
Mustard Greens - to taste
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Safflower Oil - 2 spoons
Bay leaf - 2 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Make several incisions in the pork knuckle with a knife and stuff these openings with garlic (a quarter of a clove in each).

Step 2

In a mortar, grind the garlic, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Add the oil and mix thoroughly. Rub the resulting mixture onto the knuckle.

Step 3

Mix a bit of tkemali sauce with mustard and coat the piece of pork hock. Ideally, let the hock marinate like this for 2 hours (or even better, overnight), but you can also cook it right away.

Step 4

Place the pork knuckle in a roasting sleeve and put it in a preheated oven at 212°F. Cook the meat at this temperature for half an hour, then increase the temperature to 200-428°F and cook for another hour and a half.
