“A pig’s hock is essentially its ankle, which you probably could work out just by looking at the thing. The pig equivalent of a lamb shank, this is similarly best when slowly cooked until it comes off the bone. But this is a cheat’s recipe, and uses already cooked ham hock, which you can often find in large supermarkets. If this isn’t doable, use sausage instead.”
