Pork Knuckle (Eisbein or Schweinshaxe in German) is a traditional Bavarian dish that's popular not only during the Oktoberfest but all year round. It's usually served with dumplings / Knödeln, Sauerkraut, and of course a beer gravy. I served it with roasted pumpkin since it's in season, and a salad, but you can use other root vegetables. Instead of gravy, we just enjoyed it with a cold top-fermented Weißbier.
If you ever wanted to re-create this typical Oktoberfest dish at home try this recipe, look for the meaty rear pig knuckles that are fresh, not cured and allow it to sit in the fridge for two days to let the skin dry out. Don't rush the process. Use two metal skewers to keep the skin stretched and the prevent from shrinking while it roasts. Without the skewers, the skin contracts as it slow roasts, creating folds in the skin that don?t become crispy.
