Our Mangalitsa Pork Hock Pasture-Raised is the perfect secret weapon for adding incredibly rich ham flavor to a wide variety of recipes! Cut from the hog’s rear leg underneath the ham ham hocks are full of dense connective tissue that makes them ideal for low-and-slow cooking methods like braising or stewing. Once this tissue breaks down it is transformed into tender flavorful meat that makes a deliciously savory addition to a wide variety of recipes! Simmer our Mangalitsa Ham Hocks with dried beans over low heat for a few hours to create a hearty ham hock and bean stew that’s perfect for autumn evenings. Braise ham hock and serve the meat with collard greens or field peas to create classic Southern sides.
