In old cookbooks, pictures with a pork carcass cutting scheme are among the most remarkable.
On the side, as a rule, a list of dishes that are prepared from different pieces. Almost the most extensive list in front of the pork thigh, or as it is also called - knuckles, buldijki, shanks. It can be said, not too sinning against the truth, that the buldijka is a whole pig carcass in miniature.
The most nourishing borscht - from it, the classic roast is also wonderful, like almost any other dish. Do you want - rice, you want - chops, it will turn out both pork and jelly and ham. But there is a recipe for which no other part of the pork carcass will work: today we will bake in the sleeve pork buldyzhka, and, believe me, few dishes can compare with this.
Pork knuckle baked in the oven in the sleeve - the general principles of cooking
• For baking, it is best to take the back shank, which, unlike the front one, is more meaty. When choosing a product, pay special attention to the appearance. In the pigs of common "white" breeds, the skin should be light, and the meat should be dense. If the fat layer has a yellowish tint, it is better to give up the purchase. As a rule, this means that the animal was not young and juicy, soft dishes will not work.
• Like all semi-finished meat products, you need to prepare them correctly for cooking. If there is a bristle on the skin, scorch it over the burner, then carefully scrape it with a knife and rinse with warm water. You can pre-soak buldy for about an hour in cold water.
• Before baking, shreds marinate for at least four hours. In order for the meat under the coarse skin to be well marinated, longitudinal cuts must be made along the bone, which can additionally be stuffed with garlic.
• After marinating, the shank is placed in a sleeve, the edges of which are tightly tied or fastened with special fixings. The surface must be pierced with a needle or other sharp object in several places. This is done so that the steam from the “package” goes outside and does not tear it. • In readiness of a dish it is possible to make sure that the pulp is pierced to the bone. The juice produced should not be cloudy.
• Pork baked according to the above recipes can be served with a side dish, cut into slices as a snack or put on slices of bread. Traditionally, it is customary to serve sauerkraut or stewed cabbage, pickled vegetables to such a dish.

Pork knuckle baked in the oven in the sleeve - cooking tricks and useful tips
• It is easier to clean the skin on the buldijka if you soak it in advance. You can add quite a bit of baking soda to the water.
• If the marinade contains fresh onions or garlic, be sure to pick around the pieces of vegetables before packing the bundie into the sleeve. If this is not done, they can burn when baking, which will give the dish an unpleasant, bitter taste.
• It takes two hours to bake a pork shank weighing a kilogram. To reduce it, pre-boil the meat until half cooked. In addition, it will give the meat extra juiciness and make the skin soft.
• To form a brown crust on the surface of the dish, cut the sleeve a quarter of an hour before the readiness is ready and carefully spread the edges.
