Method

  1. Halve any large potatoes and put them in a large pan with the stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until just tender.

  1. To cook your own ham hock, soak the ham for several hours – or preferably overnight – in several changes of cold water, then drain and put it into a large pan with some halved carrots, celery sticks, 1 halved onion and 12 peppercorns. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 2-3 hours until tender. Remove the ham from the pan and set aside. You can keep the stock to use another time.

  2. Freeze the finished stew without the parsley. Defrost thoroughly, heat until piping hot throughout, then sprinkle with parsley to serve.
