Place the pork knuckle directly into a large pot (5 liters).

Quarter the onions and add them to the pot with the pork knuckle.

Cover the pork knuckle with water until just submerged.

Add approximately 20 allspice berries and 10-12 cloves to the pot.

Add 2-3 bay leaves for flavor.

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat for 5-8 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium-low (4-5 on the stove) and let it simmer for 2.5 hours, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface.

After 2.5 hours, check the tenderness of the pork knuckle.

While the pork is cooking, peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into equal-sized pieces.

Prepare a separate pot for the root mash and add the chopped carrots and potatoes.

Fill the pot with water and a little salt, then bring to a boil.

Cook the root vegetables until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain the vegetables and return them to the pot.

Add butter to the drained vegetables and mash until smooth.
