Ingredients

1 kg pork knuckle, approximately

500 g unsmoked ham hock or knuckle, approximately

1 pigs trotter

2 large onions, peeled and halved

1 large carrot, peeled and sliced

1 stick(s) celery, chopped

1/2 tsp ground mace or few blades of mace

12 black peppercorns

3 bay leaves

4 clove(s) garlic, finely sliced

fresh parsley and sage

Instructions

Rinse the ham hock off under cold water and put it into a large saucepan with the pork knuckle, trotter and the other ingredients.

Bring to the boil and simmer for about 4 hours, until the meat is beginning to fall off the bone. Drain the meat in a colander over a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid and leave to cool enough to handle (or, place in pressure cooker and cook for 15 minutes per pound plus 30 minutes. Allow to come off the boil naturally and leave to reduce to normal).

Strain off the cooking liquid into the pan and boil it until it has reduced to half its volume. Make sure it doesn’t become too salty as it reduces by tasting it every so often. If you’re worried about it being too salty add a little water. Take off the heat and leave to cool.

Remove the pork and ham meat from the bone and chop it up, including the skin, into rough 2-3 cm chunks. Mix the meat in a bowl with a couple of cups of the cooking liquor, taste the mixture and season more if necessary. Put the mixture into a bowl, terrine or moulds and leave overnight in the fridge to set.

Serve with toast and pickles or salad.
