My mum picked up this from her local butchers for £1.50 and I bought it off her. It weighs 1.2kilo raw. And it will be the base of our meals for this week, i'm trying to see how long I can stretch it.
So I stuck it in the slow cooker overnight with enough water to cover and a couple of bay leaves, salt, pepper, a pinch of herbs, left it on low.
I woke up to a lovely bowl of nutritous stock, which is in the fridge, when the fat solidifies at the top I will scrape it off. And this is how much meat I got off the ham hock:
Not bad for £1.50. I will be updating with recipes I use this for, so watch this space. At the moment i'm thinking:
Ham and Pea risotto
Ham and Pea soup
Pulled pork cobs with BBQ sauce
