I propose another delicious recipe for making honey shank with ginger in lemon-soy sauce. It can be baked both in foil and in a sleeve, or in an open form or on a baking sheet. It should be borne in mind that if you want to get a soft skin, the knuckle should be wrapped in foil or a sleeve. If you like crispy skins, bake them open. Before heat treatment in the oven, pre-marinate. The longer the meat is marinated, the tastier it will be. Time can range from 1 hour at room temperature to a day in the refrigerator. If desired, the pork leg during baking can be accompanied by any products. Usually it is supplemented with vegetables or fruits: cabbage, potatoes, onions, carrots, apples, pears, plums.

Step-by-step preparation of honey shank with ginger in lemon-soy sauce, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the shank under running water, scrape the skin with an iron sponge (especially if there is a black tan on it) and dry well with a paper towel.
Peel the garlic, wash and cut in half.
Make shallow punctures in the shank with a sharp knife, which are stuffed with garlic cloves.
2. Pour soy sauce into a small container, add honey and lemon juice.
3. Add ginger powder, salt and black pepper. Be careful with the addition of salt, as salty soy sauce is used, and you can oversalt the dish. You can use finely grated ginger instead of ginger powder.
4. Stir the soy marinade.
5. Place the pork knuckle in a roasting sleeve, which is fixed on one side with special fasteners.
6. Pour the marinade into the bag with the shank. Secure the sleeve on the other side and shake the shank so that the marinade spreads and covers it evenly on all sides.
7. Soak the shank at room temperature for 2 hours to marinate. You can also marinate it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Then put it on a baking sheet and send to bake in a preheated oven to 180 degrees for 1.5 hours. Although the baking time of the knuckle in the oven depends on its weight and size. A medium-sized shank cooks for 2 hours at 180 degrees. Serve hot, freshly prepared honey shank with ginger in lemon-soy sauce.
