One of the best things ive eaten, served to friends and family and they are all hooked. You can also order things from the Waitrose meat counter.

It's gelatinous qualities make it a real treat. stewed in sweet soya sauce, ginger, star anise etc it takes a few hours but it well worth the effort as the marrow is fab stewed Pork hocks are a traditional oriental staple treat.

I love the recipe. It looks delicious and I'll be attempting to replicate a pea and ham soup I tried in France. I’d recommend trying a butcher for the pork hock (Picked mine up for £2.50).

This is a good dish for serving with baked potatoes or crusty bread. Feeds our family of 7 very well.

We had hocks in the bottom of the freezer from when we killed our pigs last year (Large Blacks). I did this last week and it was wonderful. Doing it again today and looking forward to having more hocks, which I didn't used to relish at all. Thanks so much, tastes really Spanish and the kids didn't object either!
