Pork Knuckle and Bulgur Stew

The cooking possibilities in a holiday apartment are a bit simple. The ceran cook top is something to get used to after nearly cooking 20 years with induction.



It was a very cold morning on the Eifel and I decided only to drive down to Adenau and go for some groceries there. I wanted to use up some ingredients from my fridge.



Soup or Stew? Lets see what the endresult will be.

At the butcher I saw ready cooked small pork knuckles. That makes any kind of soup a lot easier to cook. 

Ingredients:

1 small cooked pork knuckle

2/3 cup  bulgur with roasted pasta

2 red long pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

2 green onions

1 small can Leipziger Allerlei (peas, carrot, kohlrabi, asparagus)

500 ml chicken stock

Herbes de Provence, pepper, 1 tbsp tomato paste

Parsley

Creme fraiche




Pull the meat off the bone and cut it in cubes. Chop peppers and onions and open and drain the can.



Heat up water in the kettle for the chicken stock cube and dissolve it. 

In a pot, heat up oil, toss in the chopped veggies and give them 3 minutes. Next let the bulgur mix get some coating with the oil. Add tomato paste and seasoning. Pour in the chicken stock, add the meat and cook for 15 min until the bulgour is soft. The drained veggies from the can following. Check the seasoning for taste and finish with parsley.

On the plate put a dollop of creme fraiche and freshly ground pepper on top.
