It is tasting (not dinner time yet) brilliant.

However it it even better cooked one day and heated thro’ the next. We had two good evening meals. What was left we had for lunch with 50grms of orzo each. Ignore cooking times for orzo – 13-17mins on the packet. Try 10 minutes.

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

I love the recipe. It looks delicious and I’ll be attempting to replicate a pea and ham soup I tried in France.

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

My local butcher charged me just £2.50 for a gammon knnuckle yesterday! absolute bargain!
