masuk Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Searches for bacon bones has not helped: I want to make a few litres of thick pea and ham soup. For this I need some smoked pork hocks and pork knuckles, with a bit of meat on them of course. Anyone got any ideas? Also dried green split peas. Are these easy to find in C.M.?

NeverSure Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I wish I had a picture of what you have. Initially after butchering the pig you have ribs with a lot of meat, or call it a thick slab of meat with ribs on one side. When trimmed off, the ribs are cooked as spare ribs, usually on a BBQ. The meat is made into bacon. The bones can be trimmed and the raw meat seared in a skillet for flavor and then cooked into the soup. I would marinate the meat in salt and pepper and maybe garlic overnight before searing. Searing caramelizes the meat and adds a flavor you won't get in the pot of water. Hocks and knuckles don't come from the same part of the pig that the bacon does. They are cheap if you can find a butcher shop or if they sell them in the market. I use a side of pig which is the bones and bacon, and I love to cook the spareribs on a BBQ and just eat them. I use a sweet and sour tomato based sauce which has a little vinegar and brown sugar and salt, pepper and garlic for flavor. I keep turning and adding the sauce as it BBQ's. Now if you just want ham for your soup any will do. The reason people use the knuckles etc. is to milk the last bit of flavor from the pig. If I did that I would bake the knuckles for a while until browned to improve the flavor. Sorry if I confused you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimping sells their stuff at all its stores. The big stores carry a pretty complete collection. Usually they have the ham hocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
