beer

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic beer

💰Cheaper: apple cider

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

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Rinse pork hocks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

Rub the pork hocks with salt, black pepper, and crushed garlic, ensuring the seasoning gets into the cuts.

Place pork hocks in a roasting pan and surround with chopped onion, caraway seeds, and bay leaves.

Pour vegetable broth and beer around the hocks in the pan.

Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast for 2 hours.

Remove foil and increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

Roast for an additional 30-45 minutes until skin is crispy and golden brown.

While the pork hocks are roasting, prepare the cabbage and potatoes.

Sauté cabbage in olive oil until tender, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Boil potatoes until fork-tender, then drain and toss with olive oil and herbs.

Serve crispy pork hocks with sautéed cabbage, roasted potatoes, and mustard on the side.
