  3. 3

    Peel 2 onions. Finely chop the onions and pretzels. Heat the milk. Let the pretzels and onions steep for about 1 hour

    Gradually pour beer over the knuckles and roast them open for about 30 minutes

  6. 6

    Put the knuckles of pork on a grill and possibly fry them crisply on the highest setting or under the grill. Pass the stock and vegetables through a sieve and season to taste. Lift out the dumplings. Arrange everything. Sauerkraut tastes good with it
