WTF do I do with ham hock???

[winnybella]

At least that's what I think it is. Porc jambonneau in French. Looks like lower part of the leg, shin maybe? Quite small.Not smoked.

DP bought it and said we could roast it

I bought it once and boiled it and it was horrible, fatty, tasteless and hard.

Any ideas?

make soup

This sounds nice

Brown it before you boil it to seal it?

Boil it in Coca cola like a Christmas Ham?

Ooh, that looks nice, Beamur.

I didn't blanch them last time, maybe that had something to do with the vile smell and flavour.
