How to cook a ham hock?
Alright folks, let me tell you how to whip up a ham hock that will knock your socks off! First, you're going to need to soak that beauty overnight to reduce the saltiness (unless you're a salt fiend, then, by all means, skip this step). Then, we're going on a slow and low cooking journey, simmering this hunk of meat in a pot full of water, with an onion and some garlic to keep it company. After a few hours, you'll be rewarded with tender, fall-off-the-bone meat that will have you dancing in your kitchen. Remember, cooking is a marathon, not a sprint, so take your time, enjoy the process, and get ready to dig into the best ham hock you've ever had!
