Knuckle in a bag

This recipe will delight you not only with its simplicity and excellent taste, but also with the absence of the need to wash a mountain of dishes. To prepare, you need to get special baking bags. They are sold in any supermarket.

Ingredients for cooking pork knee in a baking bag:

  • 1.1-1.5 kg of bullocks;
  • ½ tsp each dried rosemary and thyme;
  • 1 tbsp each tomato paste and mayonnaise;
  • 2 tsp garlic powder;
  • 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic;
  • 1-2 tsp. salt;
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper.

Before you start cooking the shanks, you need to mix the seasonings in one cup. Take 1 tsp. garlic powder, salt to taste and ¼ tsp. thyme with rosemary.

Slots are made across the entire surface of the cleaned shank, into which thinly sliced ​​garlic cloves are inserted. Rub the knee thoroughly with the prepared spice mixture. Place in 2-3 baking bags. Squeeze the air out of each thoroughly. Leave to marinate for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator. You can do it overnight, it will be better saturated with spices.

Place the meat in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook in bags for 1 hour, and then let it brew for another 40 minutes. Remove the slightly cooled shank from the baking sleeve. Carefully grease with a mixture of tomato paste and mayonnaise with the addition of the remaining seasonings: thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.

Place the dish in a new bag and place it in the oven, preheated to 200°C for another 1 hour. For proper air circulation in the baking bag, you need to make several holes with a toothpick. Then cut the bag and let the dish brew for another 8-10 minutes.

The knuckle is stuffed with garlic - the cloves are cut in half and inserted into thin slits. Place the meat in an empty multicooker bowl, add red wine and soy sauce. Then set the “baking” mode for 30 minutes and close the lid tightly. After the specified time, the meat is turned over to the other side and kept in the “frying” mode for another 15 minutes with the lid open.

Boiled-baked with garlic

This recipe requires the following ingredients:

  • 1.5 kg bullocks;
  • 1 onion;
  • 1 medium carrot;
  • 5-7 cloves of garlic;
  • 3 pcs. bay leaf;
  • 8-10 pcs. black peppercorns;
  • salt to taste;
  • 2 tsp honey;
  • 1 tsp. refined vegetable oils;
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce;
  • 1 tbsp. mustard.

Fill the pan with water and immerse the cleaned meat in it. While the pork knee is boiling, the carrots and onions must be peeled, washed, and chopped. Skim the foam from the broth, add vegetables along with garlic and pepper, salt. Cook over low heat for at least 2 hours, then remove the meat and let cool. Add the bay leaf 5 minutes before the end of cooking the broth.

Place the shank in a baking dish, make cuts in the skin in the form of squares and put the garlic in them. Then the meat is generously coated with sauce, wrapped in foil and placed in the oven to bake for 30 minutes. The optimal temperature is 200 °C. During the baking process, the meat must be brushed with sauce every 10 minutes to obtain a golden brown crust.

When purchasing a pork shank intended for baking, experienced housewives always give preference to the shank from the back leg, since it is larger, thicker and has a lot of meat on it than on the drumstick from the front leg. The front shank is most often used for jellied meat.

To make the shank juicier, it is advisable to marinate it a little. Various products are suitable for this, such as dark beer, mayonnaise, honey, soy sauce, kvass, mustard, mayonnaise.

I continue my series of recipes for dishes that go well with beer. Meet another remedy for weight loss - stuffed knuckle)

This time we will make stuffed shanks. The most difficult part, in my opinion, in this recipe is removing the bones from the shanks. You'll have to try a little, but everything will work out. It is most convenient to do this with a thin, sharp knife.

Do not throw away the bones, but freeze them; we will need them when preparing the broth.


Prepare the marinade: mix wine vinegar, crushed garlic, salt, ground black pepper, marjoram, a little sweet paprika, ground ginger and cumin.


Rub the shanks thoroughly on both sides with this mixture and leave in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Note to the hostess

It’s good if you keep the shanks overnight in salted water. The skin will become noticeably softer and it will be easier to wash them.

Meanwhile, coarsely chop the onion (except for one half), carrots, celery root and leek.

Place the marinated shanks on a board. Cut half the onion into half rings and place on top. Next came the sausages. If you are not sure that the marinade was salty enough, salt the inside of the shanks.


Wrap the sausage in the knuckle and tie to form a roll.


As in cooking, shanks can be prepared in two ways: bake or boil, and then finish baking. If you choose to cook, you don’t need to cut the vegetables. Just cook for about 2 hours along with the shanks in a large saucepan.

I'll bake it. Place the chopped vegetables and spices on the bottom of a deep baking dish. Add water to cover the vegetables. Place the shanks on top. By the way, even before marinating, I removed the skin from one of them.


You can add a few sprigs of rosemary on top of the vegetables, if desired.


Cover the pan with foil and place in an oven preheated to 200°C for 2-2.5 hours. During the cooking process, the shanks can be turned over 1-2 times. Check readiness. The meat should be very soft. If the knuckle were whole, it should be easily separated from the bone.


Remove the foil and brown the shanks until crispy. Occasionally pour over the broth in the pan.


Serve with sour cream, horseradish and dill sauce. I don’t indicate the amount of ingredients for the sauce - just try it. Surely someone likes it hot ;)
