Coat the knuckle and pieces of meat with garlic and spices, rub well with your hands.
Mix the onions with the mushrooms and put inside the knuckle in one corner.
In the same place we put the chicken meat.
Secure the knuckle with toothpicks or skewers if you have a large knuckle.
Put the knuckle in a large roaster or in a pan with thick walls.
Put it in the fridge overnight.
Then pour 10 peas of black pepper, a handful, a bay leaf, pour water and stew for 4 hours on low heat. Add water as needed.
40 minutes before the end of cooking, you can remove the lid – the knuckle will brown.
Take out the meat on a dish with two kitchen spatulas, so that the roll does not fall apart.
Remove toothpicks, cut into slices and put on a plate.
