Fresh Pork Hocks (2-3 lbs)

A pork hock (or pork knuckle) is the joint that connects the foot to the leg. It’s a collagen-rich cut consisting of skin, fat, tendons and meat. Sourced from the front legs, fresh hocks are smaller, meatier, and more tender than rear hocks which are usually smoked. This makes them ideal for infusing delicious pork flavour into other ingredients through slow cooking. Try simmering pork hocks with sauerkraut and root vegetables or braising them with fennel and your favourite aromatic herbs. The high collagen content also makes pork hocks great for creating a gelatinous, gut-healthy broth or a base for Asian-inspired soups.
