ham hock
Pig leg cut
A ham hock is the joint of a pig's leg between the knee and foot, typically cured or smoked.
It's prized in cooking for adding rich, smoky flavor to slow-cooked dishes like beans, greens, and soups: She simmered the collards with a ham hock for hours.
The meat is tough and requires long cooking to become tender.
