Shank is a classic German dish that is served in any beer bar in Germany. In German, it sounds like "Eisbahn", which translates as "ice leg". Why this dish got such a strange name, we will tell in the video.
There are a lot of different recipes for this dish both in Germany itself and around the world. The most popular of them: pork knuckle in the oven, knuckle in a cauldron, knuckle on the grill and knuckle in beer. We love the recipe for grilled shank in beer marinade. The presentation is also different. For example, in Berlin, Eisbahn is traditionally served with pea porridge, in other regions it is usually served with stewed cabbage with berry jam. In Russia, they prefer to eat knuckle with potatoes, or as an independent dish without a side dish.
