Honorary Post: David can cook!!! :)

Sorry for the delay in posting. I was having trouble with my Google account and I couldn't upload images anymore. Problem resolved, time for posting! :)

As many of you know, David, my husband, is not a cook. Ok, mind you, he can now fry an egg, do an egg sandwich, is the expert on waffles and shakes. But, don't you dare ask him more than that! Of course, he is a great helping hand when needed and since I get home pretty late at night, he helps with the prep required for dinner.

The other day, he prepared a whole meal for us on a Friday at lunchtime. I had bought some marinaded pork knuckles (inspired by my trip to Eastern Europe, which I really need to post here!) and since they need to cook for a good 2 hours, David was my lifesaver. He accomplished this recipe by himself, and followed my instructions perfectly. My husband is now a cook!

Roasted Pork Knuckles



Ingredients:

2 marinaded pork knuckles
4 potatoes
1 brocoli
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup of white wine
1/2 onion
oil
salt and pepper

Since David cooked, he did not take pictures of the process but it is pretty straight forward. One thing at a time! ;)

Preheat your oven at 180C.

Take the knuckles and place them in an oven dish.

Peel the potatoes and dice them.

Slice the onion and garlic.

Surround the meat with the potatoes, onion and garlic.

Add some oil, salt and pepper and mix well together.

Cook for about 1 1/2 hour - 2 hours.

15 minutes before it is done, add the slice brocoli to the dish.

And here is the result!


It was so delicious and it felt great to eat such an amazing dish made by David.
