Time 2h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (1 1/2) pounds pork legs with skin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup boiling water
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
½ teaspoon caraway seeds
½ teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Rub pork legs with salt and pepper on all sides. Set into a deep-rimmed baking sheet. Pour boiling water on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Add onion, carrot, caraway seeds, and crushed peppercorns.
  • Continue to roast until pork leg is cooked through, about 90 minutes more. Baste with liquids from the pork every 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pork knuckle didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.
