pork knuckle
Braised swine shank
Pork knuckle is a cut of meat from the joint between a pig's leg and foot—the equivalent of an ankle.
Popular in German cuisine as *Schweinshaxe*, it's typically roasted or braised until the skin crisps and the meat turns tender: We ordered pork knuckle with sauerkraut at the beer hall.
The cut is prized for its rich, gelatinous texture.
