Frequently Asked Questions
What can I substitute for the white wine in this recipe?
If you prefer not to use white wine, you can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth for added flavor. Another option is to use apple cider vinegar mixed with some water or unsweetened apple juice for a similar acidity.
How should I store leftovers from the smoked pork shank roast?
To store leftovers, let the pork shank and potatoes cool to room temperature, then place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the leftovers; they should be wrapped tightly and can last for up to 3 months.
What should I do if my pork shank isn't fully cooked after roasting?
If you find that the pork shank is not fully cooked after 50 to 60 minutes, you can cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent it from getting too brown and return it to the oven for an additional 15-30 minutes, checking the internal temperature should reach at least 145ºF (63ºC) for safe consumption.
