What is Eisbein?

Traditional Eisbein is pickled ham hock that is usually cured and slightly boiled. This dish originated in Germany, however, there are various versions of how to prepare this dish. In Southern Germany, for example, the locals usually roast their Eisbein. Whereas with the Polish and Swedish versions, they usually grill the meat on a barbecue.

For this particular recipe, we will be needing pre-cured and smoked pork shanks. Traditional Eisbein makes use of the boiling method. And as the pork boils, it will infuse with the fresh flavours of the added onion, carrots, fresh celery, and bay leaves.

Important to remember if you want that crispy skin

In order to achieve that crispy skin, it is crucial to pat the skin of the pork shank dry before placing it under the hot grill. If any moisture is left on the outside, it will prevent the skin from crispening to perfection.

The Reduction Glaze

We all know and love the delicious combination of figs and balsamic. Take this great combo and add it with pork, and your tastebuds won’t know what to do with themselves. The reduction complements the pork beautifully and brings a mouth-watering sweetness to the meat. Top of your Eisbein with this tasty reduction and your dish ready to serve.
