Why Nakládaný Hermelin deserves more attention

Nakládaný Hermelin rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The rich and filling complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using pork knuckle correctly takes real skill.

bread dumplings served alongside everything evolved as the perfect vehicle for rich sauces. I encountered it first in a Prague pub restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. Moravian wine is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Nakládaný Hermelin is the dish to start with.
