pork hocks?

Question

any good recipes

Answer 1

Ham Hocks and Beans
Makes 6 large helpings
1 lbs. of pinto beans (washed)
3 to 5 smoked ham (pork) hocks (5 for more flavor and meat-there isn't much meat on these and I really prefer to sue the bone from a ham)
1 Pkt Goya Ham Flavoring
½ small onion
2 carrots finely diced
Salt to taste

Place beans in slow cooker and add water to ½"- 1 ½" above beans (depending on how much soup you want when finished-- ½" for none and 1 ½" for quite a bit)

Add ham hocks, and onion, and cook on high for 1 hr. Turn down to medium heat and cook for another 3 to 3 ½ hrs, or until tender. Take ham hocks out and take skin off, de-bone and put meat back in with beans. (You may cook longer for more tender beans).
Add carrots in the last 1/2 hour of cooking.

Answer 2

STEWED PORK HOCKS

Pork hocks
Potatoes
Greens or cabbage, if desired

Cover pork hocks with seasoned boiling water. Simmer covered from 1 1/2 to 3 hours. You may add the potatoes for the last 1/2 hour of cooking along with the other vegetables, if desired.

Answer 3

All of the people who answered the question did not read it, in theory they are the same piece of meat, but a ham hock is cured and smoked, not fully cooked but in some way partially, a pork hock is the ham hock before it is smoked, and is raw not cured or smoked. They both can be used for the same dishes, one will impart a smoky flavour and be pinkish like ham, were a pork hock will not be as pink it will be a purplish colour due to the fat protecting the meat, but that happens with stewed meats.

Answer 4

Put in green beans, dried pintos, dried butter beans, even though I prefer a pork chop in my butter beans.

If you can find some hocks with a good amount of meat on them, they are good just boiled in salt and water.

Answer 5

Brown beans slow cooked with the hocks including onions.

Also served with sweet cornbread.

Yield: 4 Servings

3 1/2 qt Water
3 1/2 c Red wine vinegar
2 tb Black peppercorns
6 Bay leaves
1 tb Salt; plus 3/4 tsp Salt

Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the skin starts to pull away from the bones and the meat slips off easily when pierced with a fork, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Set aside to cool
completely, then refrigerate 1 hour. Remove and discard the outer layer of skin and fat from the
pigs' feet and discard the bones. Slice the meat and soft cartilage into 1- by 1/8-inch thick strips. Place the meat, carrot and all the peppers in a large mixing bowl.
