Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (approximately 2 pounds) pork hock
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 cups water
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 3 pieces bay leaves
- 4 cups (for deep-frying) cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
Instructions
Clean the pork hock by rinsing it under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a large pot, combine 8 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, coconut aminos, and bay leaves.
Add the pork hock to the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 90 minutes or until the meat is tender.
Remove the hock from the pot and transfer it to a wire rack to drain and cool. Allow it to dry completely to ensure maximum crispness when frying.
Once the hock is dried, heat the cooking oil in a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower the pork hock into the hot oil, frying it until the skin is golden brown and crispy, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the hock from the oil and let it drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the Keto Crispy Pata hot, garnished with your preferred low-carb dipping sauces or condiments.
