Sounds absolutely fantastic! We often buy whole pigs and I've learnt how to use most of it, ie. Bacon, ham, lovely belly pork, spare ribs etc., but always struggled with the hock. I have one ready to try for Sunday and am really looking forward to giving your method a try. Many thanks

I love using ham hocks in my Celebrity Winter Soup. The moment someone has a cold I make a container & advise only have this & by the next morning-Cold & flu gone everytime.
I adapted & changed the recipe from Molly Meldrum-my dear friend
Just pop in a couple of hocks in big pot and slowly simmer with 6 garlic cloves,lightly fryed onion & chilli and water added.
Simmer all afternoon.
Drain water of extra fats-skim off top then strip hocks into fine pieces add carrot,corriander, ginger,peas & handfuls of beanshoots.( Can add some noodles or pasta if you wish)
Cook for another tens mins then serve.
Yummmy & house smells amazing during the day.Enjoy-Cheers Lisa xx
