I walked through the market yesterday and bought a large hock for £1.99
I soaked it all night in cold water skinned it and slow cooked it today with chunks of carrot and celery and a bayleaf and pepper. I took it out an hour ago to cool it and strained the stock, which is now cooling outside in the wind. I got 15 oz of the most tender, tastiest lean meat ever. Unbelievable value and I have to be honest in that it is about 15 years since I cooked a hock as the price in tesco`s always put me off.
Now I have green peas soaking and tomorrow will make some very tasty old-fashioned ham and pea soup in the pressure cooker. Wow what a feast with a chunky hm wholemeal roll
