Cooking Instructions
Here’s cooking instruction for fresh pork hock:
1. Start by rinsing the pork hock under cold water to remove any excess debris.
2. Place the pork hock in a large pot and cover it with water. Add any desired seasonings such as bay leaves, peppercorns, or garlic cloves for added flavor.
3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
4. Cook the pork hock for approximately 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pork hock.
5. Once cooked, remove the pork hock from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes.
6. At this point, you have various options. You can enjoy the pork hock as is, or you can finish it off by roasting or grilling it for a crispy exterior. Alternatively, you can also use the cooked pork hock in various recipes like soups, stews, or braised dishes.
7. Serve the pork hock with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or steamed vegetables.
Remember, cooking times may vary, so it's important to check the meat's doneness by testing its tenderness. Enjoy your pork hock!

More Details
Our Fresh Pork Hock, also referred to as pig’s knuckle, is a cut known for its rich flavour and versatility in the kitchen. Sourced from the lower back leg of the pig, this cut is ideal for slow-cooking, where its meat and connective tissue break down to create a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Pork hock is often used as a base for hearty soups, stews, and sauces, making it a fantastic choice for creating warming dishes perfect for the Christmas season.
How to Cook at Christmas: For a traditional winter dish, slow-cook the pork hock in a broth with root vegetables, garlic, and aromatic herbs. The slow-cooking process allows the collagen to break down, resulting in a rich, gelatinous texture that enhances the flavour of your dish. You can also braise the hock with apple cider or roast it for a crispy, flavourful finish.
