Pork knuckle from Greek leg

🍖 Pork Knuckle from Leg of Greece

Greek Pork Shank • From Leg Cut • Slow Roast Star • Juicy & Tender

The Pork Knuckle from Greek Leg is the piece that makes the house smell like Sunday. It is cut from the leg, with the bone “working” during the roasting and giving a deep flavor, while the slow cooking melts the fibers and leaves a tender, juicy and full result. It is the ideal meat for the oven, casserole or pot , because the longer it stays at a low temperature, the more filling it comes out, with a sauce that binds naturally and meat that can be cut with a fork.

Whether you make it classic lemonade with potatoes , beer , or wine with herbs and garlic, this shank is transformed into a dish reminiscent of a tavern but with homemade quality and Greek ingredients.
