  1. This recipe is Shuri-Approved!
    I still have some work to do in order to get the prized bubbly-puffy rind the likes of which I've seen in the Hofbrauhaus video, but I'm asking around here and there in order to land 'the formula' as it may for this – the "rind puzzle" has proven surprisingly difficult. Otherwise, this one yields a tasty and tender pork shank, and the leftover broth is so delicious that I have to restrain myself not to drink it all in one gulp!

  2. This is on the plan for next weekend. What cut did you ask you butcher for? I know I will have to go to a specialty butcher at the West Side Market here in Cleveland. I have made these before, but used smaller unsmoked hocks. Nothing like I had in Germany with Oma and Opa.

  3. This is on the top of my list to try making. I have not been to Bayern, but I have spent a lot of time up North with the fish lovers in Schleswig-Holstein and had an excellent Schweinshaxe at the Ratskeller zu Lübeck. Thank you so much for the video, I will reply again with my results!

  4. One of my favorite German recipes. We just made this about 3 weeks ago.. If you are near Oklahoma, there is a fantastic Austrian butcher/restaurant in Tulsa, OK. They sell this hock and it is first class. The name is "Siegi's" in Tulsa. Their food is fantastic and their butcher shop is super clean and very high quality. Thanks for this video!

  5. Thank you! We make this all the time, together with your dumplings! Excellent! BTW: Pork shanks can now be found online from the direct-from-farm meat guys. Almost all are hind shanks however, and we greatly prefer the fore-shank. We've only found one source for those, Heritage Foods, and they are great. Now if we could only find a source for Schaufele!

  6. Oh Barbara…that looks so delicious! I have eaten my share of Schweinehaxe mit Kraut, Knodel und Bratkartoffeln, at Octoberfest… That nicely browned, cross cut Skin really made it look just as it does at Munich…. And using that leftover Broth and Bones, to cook the Sauerkraut or Knodel with….oooohhhh! Perfection! Your Sauce with Pretzel Dumplings sounds fantastic!
    I’ll definitely be making this, soon!
