Croatian Piglet (

Now, this is a typical Croatian meal. It is a variation of a whole piglet on a spin machine (we call it in Croatia: a happy machine) when you have only a part of a piglet. Anyway, it tastes the same, maybe even better. It goes excellent with sauerkraut.

Time 2h50m

Yield 8 portions, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2500 g pork legs (whole back leg of a piglet)
500 ml beer
1 1/2 cups oil
salt

Steps:

  • Wash the piglet leg and salt it. DO NOT salt the skin.
  • Cut the skin with sharp knife and make a "chess board" on it.
  • Preheat oil in a pot. Pour HOT oil over the piglet skin and quickly put the piglet in hot oven (220°C).
  • You bake piglet as follows: 1 kg = 1 hour.
  • After 15 min reduce heat to 180°C and pour over piglet 1/3 of your beer.
  • After approximately 1,5 hours pour over another 1/3 of your beer.
  • About 20 minutes before it is done heat the over back to 220°C and pour over the piglet last 1/3 of your beer.
  • Wondering around hot oven obviously requires more than half a litre of beer, so keep one for the piglet and three for you.
