pork hocks

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken thighs provide a leaner option, while pork shoulder is more affordable.

beer

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic beer

💰Cheaper: apple cider

Non-alcoholic beer keeps the flavor while reducing alcohol content.

Boil water in a pot.

Add pork knuckles to the boiling water along with garlic, onion, salt, peppercorns, and a bay leaf.

Boil for 90 minutes until tender.

Remove the pork knuckles from the water and drain them.

Score the skin of one pork knuckle and leave the other unscored to compare results.

Create a bed of sliced onions in a roasting pan.

Place the scored pork knuckle on top of the onions.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (199°C).

Roast the pork knuckle in the oven until the skin is crispy.

While the pork is roasting, chop the red cabbage and prepare to braise it.

In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté onions and garlic.

Add the chopped cabbage to the pan and season with salt.

Braise the cabbage until tender.

Prepare the boiled potatoes by draining them and mixing with butter, parsley, and garlic.

Once the pork is done roasting, serve it with the braised cabbage and potatoes.
