Schweinshaxe (Roast Pork Knuckle)
Bavarian roasted pork knuckle with crackling-crisp skin, tender meat, served with sauerkraut and dumplings.
Why It Works
Braising in beer first tenderizes the tough meat and gelatin-rich connective tissue. High-heat finishing crisps the skin into a shattering shell that snaps when you cut it.
