Wash and dice the leek, celery, carrot, and onion. Cook pork hocks, diced
vegetables, salt and peppercorns in water to cover 2 to 3 hours or until
tender. Avoid overcooking. Remove from water; drain well reserving
vegetables and cooking liquid. Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Melt fat or
shortening in an enamel-lined, cast-iron pan. Add drained pork hocks,
cooked vegetables and a small amount of cooking liquid. Bake 30 minutes.
Moisten meat frequently with more cooking liquid. Before meat is fully
cooked, sprinkle with beer or water in which a good amount of salt has been
dissolved. Add cumin to increase flavor, if desired. Serve with potato or
white bread dumplings or sauerkraut salad. Note: In Bavaria, the juices and
cooking liquid are strained and served as an accompanying sauce.
