✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 3 lb Pork knuckle
• 2 Onion
• 2 Carrots
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Beer
• 3 Bay leaf
• 1/4 cup Mustard
• 1/4 cup Horseradish

Steps

1. Simmer the knuckle with onion, carrots, bay, and garlic 2 hours until the meat loosens from the bone.
2. Rub with mustard and roast at 425 degrees 30 minutes, basting with beer, until the skin crackles.
3. The skin should shatter; the meat should fall apart.
4. Rest 10 minutes before carving — the juices need to settle.
5. Serve with horseradish, mustard, and sauerkraut; bread is mandatory for the drippings.
6. Golonka is a two-beer commitment; plan accordingly.
