Usually I bring you a recipe that's a little harder to make, but this time I'm doing the opposite. It's all about simplicity and making it as quick as possible! It doesn't matter how many hours a kilowatt-hour fryer goes for when cooking a pork shank, so here's a lightning-fast version!

Ingredients for 4 people:

Preparing the pork knuckle:

  • The fully preheated, one by one vacuum packed pig legs, place in a bag of boiling water for 10-15 minutes. This is called regeneration. This is important because it's such a short time that if you put the leg in from the fridge, it might still be cold next to the bone directly.
  • Then put it on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and put it in the oven preheated to 220-240° for 12-15 minutes. The main thing is to brown the skin of the leg until nicely blistered. This will ensure that the drumstick is done!
  • And for a side dish, I suggest a perfectly average, but also very quick to prepare, convenience product. 
  • Melt the butter in a pan, add the rinsed, ready-to-cook potato balls and fry. Add the parsley greens at the end and season with salt and pepper.
  • While the potatoes are browning, the sautéed cabbage, also ready to cook, is reheated in a pan for a few minutes and ready to serve.

Bon appetit!
