Step 3
Boil the pork knuckle for about 3 hours until tender, so the meat falls off the bones on its own.

Step 6
Pour 1 ladle of broth into the mixture and stir. Cut off the neck of a 0.5 or 1 liter bottle, spoon the meat mixture into it, and pack it down firmly. Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours. The key is to work quickly so the mixture stays warm—then it will gel more firmly and won’t fall apart when sliced.
