HINTS & TIPS
Using the steam oven to cook the ham hock ensures that you have no evaporation of the stock, therefore not having to dilute the flavour by adding additional stock
Don’t add any seasoning until you have finished the dish, some ham hocks have more salt than others. You also don’t want to season the beans while cooking as this prevents them cooking through properly
