Each person gets one shank. Uncooked with the bone, it weighs around 1 kilogram. Smoked Pork Shank (Eisbein) is a German pork cut that is usually pickled and smoked.
Place the pork shanks in a large pot. Add the onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, and enough water to fully cover the shanks.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or depending on the size of the knuckle, 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the skins are soft.
Remove the shanks from the pot and pat dry with a cloth. Score the skin diagonally with a sharp knife, and salt the skin well.
Mix the glazing ingredients well and brush over the meat.
Place under a hot grill to crispen the skin. Keep an eye on them and turn to crispen the entire outside, continuing to glaze until the meat is crisp.
Best served with potatoes and apple sauce. Enjoy your delicious Smoked Eisbein! 🍖
