Buying a ham hock at the Farmers Market seemed like a good idea, for a couple of British Pounds I would have enough meat and stock to feed The Hound and I for a week. Boil it up with donkey carrots and leek, thyme, peppercorns, and a couple of hours later ham the falls off the bone. Allow to cool in the stock, remove, then add pearl barley boil for an hour, add curly kale and you have a nutritious broth. The whole process only takes 27 hours.Obviously it doesn't but it did seem to take all day, and by the end of it I was very much over being all Hugh Fearnley Whatshisstall.
I picked out the ham, and ate it with salted ricotta, highly out of season vine ripened cherry tomatoes and a big hunk of sour dough.
My heart will always belong to Italy.

Do you wear Joules wellies or Hunters?
I can currently be seen weearing a bright yellow Hunter, but I am very taken by the new Joules wellies with a big bow...page 63.
Always on brand.

Wow! Fab article! You need to grab yourself a pair of those wellies with the big bows. Bright red I think - go for it!
With affection, as always.
