Smoked Cured Hock x 1
£10.45
Smoked cured hock, also known as pig’s knuckle, comes from the lower back leg of the pig, above the trotter. They are often eaten whole in Eastern Europe, though we normally prefer to use them as a base for soups, sauces and stews.
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
PORK, SALT, SUGAR, Preservatives (SODIUM NITRITE, SODIUM NITRATE), ANTIOXIDANT (SODIUM ASCORBATE)
Cooking Instructions
It is important to cook smoked cured hock very slowly. Gently simmer in a large, metal stock pot. Flavour the water with whole peppercorns, a couple of bay leaves and a large bouquet garni. As you cook the hock, the collagen will melt and the fat will flavour the liquid, imparting silky texture and rich, smoky flavour. This stock will create fabulous soup, into which you can separate generous pieces of the smoked hock. Add fresh peas to the soup and serve with crusty wholemeal bread and farmhouse cheddar.
Place it in a pan with oil on medium heat and brown the ham hock on each side. Place it in a roasting pan, and add in liquid, such as beef or chicken broth, for flavor and moisture. Bake the ham hock in the oven for one hour and 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Storage Instructions
Shelf Life: 5 Days from date of delivery
While we’d be surprised if you could resist the temptation to enjoy immediately, please keep refridgerated unless you intend to eat it right away! Otherwise all our quality meat is suitable for freezing to preserve its taste and texture, meaning you can cook and serve it when you fancy. Once it’s been frozen, please thaw your meat slowly and thoroughly, ideally in the fridge overnight. We vacuum-pack our meat to naturally extend its freshness and make it suitable for home-freezing.
Packaging
This pack contains 1 piece. Your item will arrive in a 100% recycled box lovingly packed with FSC-certified shredded spruce from Britain and Sweden, natural sheep’s wool insulation and non-toxic chilled gel packs, all of which can be reused, composted or recycled. To recycle the gel packs, simply cut a corner and dispose of the contents through your normal domestic waste system, as the gel isn’t harmful to the environment. Better still, reuse them by storing in the freezer and chilling other products. The only component from our packaging that can’t be recycled are the foil liners which need to be go in household waste; the poly bags meat comes in in need to go in plastic recycling.

Absolutely fantastic, friendly folk with good wholesalers tasty products, need to try the jerk chicken sausages.
Brilliant value for money, the goat curry is delicious and excellent customer service. I will be ordering again very soon!
Have just tried The Black Farmer pork, tomato and basil sausages and they were absolutetly delicious. Moist, meaty and full of flavour. Probably the best sausages we have had in a while and would definitely recommend.
We ordered a meat box whilst we were camping and had an issue with the delivery company. Chris from the Black Farmer was on the case before I even knew about it. I have never had such a positive customer experience when faced with an issue. Thanks to Chris our meat box arrived in time for our BBQ and was the most delicious hot dogs my family have ever tasted. We will certainly be ordering again and would highly recommend to others. Brilliant quality food and a company you can trust!
Received the Easter Box as a competition prize. Had no idea what to expect inside but what a lovely surprise it was. A full Easter Sunday lunch with everything provided and a recipe card as well. The box arrived, complete with ice packs, in excellent condition. The contents were fantastic. The lamb was amazing and I am not its greatest fan. The pie we made was delicious and yes I went straight to the supermarket and bought some Black Farmer sausages and bacon. Will def be ordering more from you in the future - a well deserved 5 stars!!
Initially I’d been reluctant to order as I didn’t want lots of fresh meat arriving with only me here to eat it! Customer Services assured me I could freeze the items upon delivery, which I did - with the exception of one sirloin steak which is now in my tummy and was absolutely delicious! 😁.Delightful service, prompt delivery and delicious food 😋😁🌟
