Chef Zdeněk Turšner’s recommendation
- It is important that the knuckle is cooked until it is really soft before baking so that it is not tough. Cooking time is 1.5 to 2.5 hours. It depends on the size of the knuckle.
- The knuckle can be pre-marinated in plain water with salt for three days. The meat will then become soft.
