Ham Hocks - Simple, Economical & Delicious

During these brow-frowning times, hassle-free, cheap cuts of meat provide a humble and tasty pleasure. This week, try our ham hocks - one of the most satisfying slow cooking joints around and you can produce multiple meals from one hock. Start by boiling the meat (you can use the left over water for soup or split-pea stew), before slow roasting in the oven. You can use the remaining meat for sandwich fillings, in salads or, if you are feeling adventurous, in a terrine (actually, its a lot easier than you might think). At £2.49 for cured and £2.69 for smoked, ham hocks are definitely one for the shopping basket.
