Roasted Pork Knuckles with Perfect Crackling
I was at the SF Ferry building Farmers' Market several Saturdays ago, when I spotted to my great delite something which I would only expect to see in an Asian Nite Market context- Roasted Pork Knuckles with Perfect Crackling! There was a whole row of them slowly circling the RoliRoti Rack, calling my name. For a mere $7 you get a whole glistening and cracktastic knuckle. They very kindly packed it in a hot bag for me- as if I were going to travel great distances and perhaps share it? Where upon I whipped it out and proceeded to demolish it walking around the rest of the market.
I must have made it look so delicious, because I was stopped by no fewer than 7 people (mostly Asian) who wanted to know where I purchased it (non-Asians first wanted to know what it was- before determining source). One guy offered me $20 for it, I laughed and told him he could get 2 for $14 if he went to RoliRoti. Please note a true capitalist would have sold the one knuckle and gone back for more. But I couldn't risk going back and them being sold out, which is what happens frequently. As I passed by on my way out, there was a long line of people waiting paitiently- when Thomas announced that they were all out of knuckles.
They have a roast pork loin and their chicken is good too, but when given the crackling option you can guess which one I would choose. Here's a list of RoliRoti's catering line.
