Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the white wine in the recipe?

Yes, you can substitute the white wine with chicken broth, vegetable broth, or apple juice for a non-alcoholic option. Just keep in mind that it will slightly change the flavor profile.

How should I store leftovers from the roasted pork shank?

After the pork shank has cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the shanks for up to 3 months; just ensure they are well-sealed.

What should I do if the pork shank isn't tender after 2 hours of baking?

If the pork shank isn't tender, it may need more time in the oven. Continue to bake it, checking every 15-20 minutes, and add a little more liquid if the dish appears too dry, to ensure it cooks evenly.
