Pork knuckle roll in film

1. First, we prepare vegetable broth:

- wash the onion (you do not need to peel it), then cut the bulbs into halves,

- wash the carrots, peel them, cut them into halves lengthwise,

- pour water into a large saucepan, add allspice and lavrushka to it, pour salt, taste and, if necessary, add salt,

- we also put the prepared onions and carrots in a saucepan and put it on high heat, bring the contents to a boil, then slightly reduce the heat and cook the broth for half an hour.

2. While the broth is cooking, let's do the knuckle:

- carefully wash the knuckle, scrape the skin thoroughly with a knife, then cut out the bone (if there is),

- then lay the knuckle on the work surface, covered with food film, skin down, and cut up and beat the meat with a hammer (without fanaticism, lightly),

- sprinkle the knuckle on top with salt and ground black pepper (preferably freshly ground), sprinkle also with spices to your taste,

- bulgarian pepper is washed, cut out the stalk, cleaned of seeds, cut into large pieces and spread them on top of the meat,

- chicken minced meat is evenly distributed over the surface of the knuckle laid out in a layer, and we spread chicken hearts on it,

- we roll the knuckle into a roll with the help of a food film, we try to make it as dense as possible,

- we tie the roll with twine so that it does not untie.

3. The next stage of cooking:

- remove carrots and onions from the ready hot broth, as well as lavrushka and allspice, do not remove the pan from the fire,

- put the roll into the boiling broth, bring it to a boil again,

- cover the pan with a lid (slightly open it), cook the roll for hours, we set the average fire,

- using a knife, we make cuts in the film, then we cook the roll for another 2 hours and 30 minutes.

In the process, we turn the roll over several times and make sure that it is completely covered with broth. That is, if necessary, we add water.

When the time has passed, we extract the finished roll from the broth and let it cool down. Then we remove the twine and the film. The roll can be served to the table or cooled and stored in the refrigerator, using for sandwiches.
