Sa Wad Dee Ka ๐Ÿ™ Hive community ^^

ย 

After more than 2 years of the world pandemic, some people have fallen at another country where they can't go back to their homes and my best friend is one of them too. ๐Ÿ˜ž

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช So today I would like to bring her right back to the fond memories with family and friends by cooking the Bavarian Pork Knuckle with Potato Dumplings and German Pickled Cabbage.

Schweinshaxen it Kartoffelknรถdeln und Sauerkraut is a traditional Bavarian dish that is so popular and favorite all over Germany, especially in Bavaria which is the home of the Oktoberfest and my best friend too, of course!๐Ÿ˜†

It seems to be difficult to make at home but I adapted the recipe with my method so that I can cook this complicated dish within a few hours. Trust me! Theyโ€™re so easy to cook when compare to the original recipe.

ย 

  • Schweinshaxen aka The Bavarian pork knuckles are the perfect mix of spices and herbs and the meat will be tender inside with crunchy and crispy skin outside. There are 2 different styles of methods to cook Bavarian pork knuckle. Just roasted or boil and roasted which this is the way I show you today and I just boiled the pork knuckle for 30 minutes and roasted it by air flyer for 20 minutes. Quick, right?๐Ÿ˜
    ย 

  • The original recipe using the dark beer for boiled the pork but I'm a non alcohol person so I skip the beer for my recipe and using star anise for the aromatic taste instead.๐Ÿ˜†

  • Kartoffelknรถdeln aka Potato dumplings are soft and fluffy dumpling that made from mashed potato combine with egg, flour and starch which they are very common potato dish in Germany.

ย 

  • Sauerkraut aka pickled cabbage is a German traditional fermented food made by shredded cabbage and salt to ferment over week or month but my recipe was quick and easy recipe by using Vinegar as the key ingredient that can cooked in 30 minutes. It's a shortcut or last-minute sauerkraut!

** For my recipe, I was so worried that the pork might be bigger than the air fryer and my worried was come true. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Luckily there's a tiny conjunction that I can trimmed and cut off the small part of bone off and then it's perfect fit into my tiny air flyer. ๐Ÿ˜„ Cooking Find The Way!
