Steps:
- Slash the fat (skin) with a sharp knife (or get the butcher to do it for you).
- Rub salt into the skin and into the slits.
- Place in a roasting tin with a cup or 2 of water.
- Roast in oven at 200°F/220F for 3 hours.
- Every half hour turn over the knuckles and make sure the water does not evaporate. Replenish as necessary.
- Chop the onion in 6 lengthwise.
- At the last turn break up onion a little and drop into the roasting tin.
- Remove knuckles from oven and allow stand for 10/15 minutes.
- Place liquid in a separator and remove excess fat. Use remaining liquid to make required quantity of gravy, adding the cooked onions.
- Serve with sauerkraut and semmel (bread) knodel for a traditional meal or with boiled cabbage a a large roast potato per person for a simpler finish.
