- This dish really isn't hard to make — just follow the steps below and even a beginner can pull it off. ;) 1. Prep the filling: trim the rind off the bacon (fatback) and cut the fat into small cubes; peel and finely chop the onion; chop the nuts with a knife; wash the parsley and rosemary leaves, pat them dry with a paper towel, and mince them finely; wash, dry, and peel the apples, cut out the stems and cores, and dice them small. 2. Make the filling: set a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter, and let it melt. Add the diced bacon (fatback) and chopped onion and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes, until the onion softens. Add the chopped nuts and keep cooking everything together for 5–7 minutes, then take the pan off the heat. Stir in the diced apples, the breadcrumbs, and the chopped parsley and rosemary, season with a little salt, and mix well. 3. Now prepare the knuckle and shape the roll: wash the pork knuckle thoroughly, blot off the excess moisture with paper towels, scrape the skin clean, and remove the bone (if needed, make a lengthwise cut to do so). Lay the knuckle on a cutting board skin-side down, cut-side up. Score the meat without cutting through the skin, and open it out flat into a single sheet (the skin should stay intact). Spread the filling along one edge, then roll the meat up and tie it with kitchen twine at intervals of about 1 inch (3 cm). Rub the shaped roll with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and set it in a roasting dish. 4. The final step — roasting: preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), then put the roll in. Roast for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and cook the roll for 1 hour 30 minutes (when pierced with a knife, the juices should run clear). Turn off the oven, cover the dish with foil, and let it rest for 10–15 minutes. Once the time is up, the roll is ready to serve, sliced thin. That said, it's also delicious cold. Enjoy!
