Instructions
- When you set out to buy a pork shank, get one with skin and bone. Wash it and pat it dry. Make cuts across the skin with a sharp knife.
- Finely chop the garlic. In a bowl, mix it with the honey, cinnamon, mustard, thyme, salt and ground black pepper. This is the marinade for the meat. Rub the shank with it and put it in the refrigerator. Leave it to rest overnight.
- It is good to choose smaller, sour apples. Cut them into pieces without peeling them. Stick the clove buds into the pieces.
- Finely chop the onion too. Put it in a clay pot (gyuvech). Pour in the beer, the whole peppercorns and the bay leaves. Place the shank on top. Drizzle with the fat and sprinkle with cumin.
- Close the shank in the clay pot with a lid and place it on the lowest level in the oven. Bake at 160°C for a maximum of three hours.
- Serve the pork shank in the clay pot with a side of mulled wine, fragrant roast potatoes or another side of your choice. Bon appetit!
