Gammon Knuckle Recipes

Hi,

I have a gammon knuckle and not sure what to do with it. I wondered if I could use it to make pulled pork? The recipe I would follow uses a hand of pork and I wondered if the knuckle would so instead (Fabulous Baker Brothers)?

If not can anyone else suggest a recipe? Pea and ham soup is out of the question, I used a ham hock to make split pea soup last year and my husband has refused to eat it.

Any suggestions welcome.

Jo

    I would reckon so, and as such, wouldn't be much good for pulled pork, as it is cured. I like to sometimes roast the knuckle/hock, or just boil it, and have the ham with mash, mustard sauce and veggies. Then use the stock for leek and potato soup. mmm yummy

    Morrisons do pork hocks,which make lovely pulled pork or pork casserole so long as you take the rind off first
