Boiled pork knuckle
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. What festive table is complete without a meat dish? This boiled pork hock takes about 5 hours to cook. If you have a multicooker, use the "Zalivnoye" (Aspic) program to reduce cooking time. You can use the broth to make aspic or a delicious, hearty borscht. Serve the hock sliced, either hot or cold. The dish is ready to be served.

Step 1
1. I really love preparing pork knuckle for holidays. Using a multicooker significantly speeds up the process. So, besides the knuckle, we will need onion, carrot, herbs (to taste), and spices.

2. Place the pork knuckle into the multicooker bowl. First, thoroughly clean and wash the pork knuckle. If you don't have a multicooker, perform the same steps in a regular pot.

3. When the water begins to boil, add herbs (I prefer parsley), salt, spices, and peeled onions and carrots. I always add garlic (about 3-5 cloves).

Step 4
4. Set the "Cold Cuts" mode and wait for the program to complete. On my multicooker, this takes 4 hours. If you're cooking on the stove over low heat in a pot, the pork knuckle usually takes about 5 hours.
