Questions about Pickled pork hocks
How do you cook pickled pork hocks until tender?
Put them in a pot, cover with fresh water and simmer gently for about 2–3 hours, until the meat pulls easily from the bone. Keep the boil gentle so the meat stays moist; skim off any foam as it forms.
Should you rinse pickled pork hocks before cooking?
Yes. Rinse off the surface brine and, if they taste very salty, soak them in cold water in the fridge for a few hours, changing the water once. Simmer in fresh water rather than using the soaking liquid.
How do you store pickled pork hocks after opening?
Keep them covered and refrigerated, ideally submerged in their brine, and use them within a few days. Freeze portions you will not use promptly; thaw them in the fridge.
What goes well with pickled pork hocks?
Their salty, rich meat works well with cabbage, split peas, lentils or potatoes. Add the meat to pea soup or a slow-cooked stew, tasting before adding more salt.
Can you use pickled pork hocks instead of ham hocks?
Yes, in soups, stews and braises, but pickled hocks can bring more salt and a sharper flavour. Rinse or soak them first, and season the dish only near the end.
How do pickled pork hocks compare with pickled pork feet?
Pickled pork hocks have more protein per 100 g: 19 g, compared with 11.6 g in pickled pork feet. Both are brined cuts, so rinse them before cooking if you want to limit the salt they add to a dish.
How much pickled pork hock is a typical portion?
A typical portion is about 117 g. It provides 22 g of protein and 1229 mg of sodium, so pair it with vegetables or grains that have not been salted.
