The shank was deep frozen and the open leg of pork was cured for 8 days. It weighed 4.3 kg. Method: Serves a party of 15 healthy eating people. -  Pumped the leg with the meat syringe with the curing solution at 10 % of its weight. -  Layed the leg of pork wide open skin down meat facing you and added the following: >  2 Tbsp. crushed coriander. >  1 Tbsp.
