Pork shank roasted in beer

Now, don’t you think that a Sunday deserves a roast? That’s why I’m sharing with you my pork shank roasted in beer recipe 🙂 It’s a classic piece of meat with the beer sauce as a twist. Result: finger licking delicious 🙂

Back home, Sunday was the only day that my mum would cook lunch (as she was working during the rest of the days!). During the week she would try to cook simple and fast recipes for dinner, otherwise we would end up having supper at midnight! So on Sundays she could complicate things a bit more. The thing is that my mother is not exactly a cooking mum. According to her: she cooks because we have to eat. She’s not even worried about her, it’s all about me and my dad. And because my grandmother was the same, I don’t have family recipes or food traditions. Whichever traditions we have now, were introduced lately by my mum and some by me. So saying that she could complicate things a bit more on Sundays usually meant that we would have some sort of roast. In her defense, she actually does quite a good chicken roast 🙂 The kind of meat would be a decision taken at our local butcher, it would depend on what he had available or his recommendation. Pork shank was a very popular choice so I learned how to cook it in various ways. For me, one of the tastiest and easiest is this one where the shank is cooked with beer. Try it and let me know if it’s not easy and delicious 🙂
