Zuurkool Met Spek Sauerkraut And Pork Hocks Recipes

SPEK MET WITTEKOOL - PORK HOCKS WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Simmer the pork hocks in water until tender, about three hours (if using a slow cooker, up to 8 hours).
• Cut cabbage into eighths; add to pot and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Cook until tender.

PICKLED PORK HOCKS

Steps:

• Marinate the hocks in the corning solution in the refrigerator for 10 days. Keep a heavy plate on the top of the meat so that all pieces are under the solution at all times. Check them each day to be sure they are all under the solution.
• At the end of the 10 days drain the meat and discard the liquid.
• Rinse the hocks and place in a large pot.
• ADD: 2 celery stalks, chopped 1 carrot, chopped-no need to peel 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped 2 bay leaves 8 whole allspice 8 black peppercorns Just barely cover with fresh water.
• Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours. You may have to add a bit more water.
• When pork hocks are very tender, remove from pot and serve over sauerkraut if desired.

ROAST SUCKLING PIG

Steps:

• Rinse the cavity well with water and dry; set meat to the side.
• Mix together and cook the liquid ingredients for 5 minutes.
• Mix the bread cubes, celery and seasonings together.
• Stuff the abdominal cavity firmly with the stuffing and sew up the opening or use skewers to seal.
• Fit aluminum foil caps over the ears and tail to avoid burning.
• These caps should be removed about l/2 hour before the barbecue is completed to obtain a uniform baking color.
• Leave a wooden block in the pig's mauth, so that a red apple can be inserted when the barbecue is completed.
• Briquettes are placed only on the sides of the charcoal grill and are separated from the suckling pig by the walls of a foil drip pan. (To make this drip pan, use 3 sheets of heavy aluminum foil molded slightly larger than the pig to collect the rich drippings.).
• Place the cooking grill over the foil drip pan. (This will allow you to add more briquettes as needed, and to collect the basting fluids.).
• Liberal usage of marinade on partially cooked suckling pig enhances the finished entree.
