Don't knock the hocks! If you've never had pork hocks before you are in for a treat! Pork hocks are served at every German bierhalle and are a famous Oktoberfest favorite! They need to simmer low and slow with vegetables and broth until very tender, then finish them in an over to give them a glorious brown crust. We know this is not a typical cut here in the US, but step outside your comfort zone this week and we promise you won't regret it!
For this one, I'm sending you over to Craft Beering for alllll the delicious details, enjoy!
