🍖🍺🍊 Pork Knuckle with Beer & Orange
Beer-Braised Pork Shank • Orange Glaze Notes • Casserole Roast • Crispy Skin Finish
Pork Knuckle with Beer and Orange is one of those dishes that fills the house with aromas and gives the dish a “tavern” effect. The beer gives depth and a rich, full-bodied sauce, while the orange brings a sweet-sour freshness that perfectly balances the pork’s deliciousness. It is slow-cooked in the crock pot until it becomes tender and juicy , and at the end it is uncovered to make the skin golden and crispy .
It's ideal for Sunday dinner, holidays, or whenever you want an impressive main dish that "writes" with minimal effort: you put it in the crock pot, let it do its job, and it rewards you with meat that can almost be cut with a fork.
