What goes with Pork Hock?
A fresh hock combines bone, skin, tendons and several relatively lean muscles. Its gelatinous impression comes largely from connective tissue, so richness does not mean that every part of the flesh is heavily marbled. Front and rear hocks differ in size and meat yield, affecting portioning and cooking time.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Pork Hock?
Potato gives the concentrated juices a soft landing, while onion and cooked garlic build depth without obscuring the cut. A little mustard or a thin honey glaze can sharpen or round selected bites. Keep wet sauce away from crackling and choose either a sticky glaze or a crisp skin finish.
