Ingredients
 

For the herb

  • 1 kg Sauerkraut drained fresh
  • 400 ml Vegetable stock
  • 150 g Goose fat
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 Bay leaves,
  • 6 Juniper berries
  • 1 tsp Coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp Caraway seeds
  • 3 Onion
  • 1 Apple
  • 3 Potato
  • 100 g Pineapple

flesh

  • 2 Knuckle of pork 1.5 kg each

Instructions
 

  • Let the cabbage in the goose lard take color with the diced onions. Pour in the stock (if you like, you can also add white wine), add the bay leaves, juniper, caraway, and coriander in a tea strainer. Puree the apple, pineapple and potato and add to bind and taste. Put in pork knuckle and let it simmer (I had it on for a good 2 hours, but it can also be shorter) Then bake the pork knuckle under the grill for a good 45 minutes. Slice and serve. Otherwise, the pig doesn't get on my nerves, because I am pre-stressed ...... this dish used to be prepared in a pressure cooker and the wobbly fat was eaten ... not for everyone and certainly not suitable for children. Today son number 1 comes to eat and since he doesn't like pork, I put a portion of cabbage aside for him before putting the pork knuckle. Then I'll add white beans and bake it in the oven with cheese. This is still a small variation on the recipe. For you as always free of charge .........
