PORK STEW WITH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• HOCKS: In a large pot, place hocks, white onions, mixed spice, cloves, salt, and pepper. Add water to barely cover the hocks and bring it to a boil.
• Reduce heat to simmer and let it simmer for 1 to 1 ½ hours or until the meat is cooked.
• When cooked, remove hocks from the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the hocks cool off before handling.
• Separate meat from skin, bones, and fat; discard them. Cut the meat into bite sized pieces and set aside.
• MEATBALLS: In a large bowl or pot, add ground veal, ground beef and ground pork; combine the meat together.
• Add eggs, onions, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, Herbes de Provence, mixed spice, hot paprika, salt, black pepper and pressed garlic. Combine the ingredients until fairly well mixed.
• Using a medium scoop, portion the meat and then, with well-oiled hands, roll them nice and tight.
• Roll each meatball in the sifted toasted flour, shake off any excess and put them back on the baking dish; set them aside.
• STEW: Add more water to the pot where the hocks were simmering earlier and increase the heat to high. Skim off any foam and discard it.
• When it starts boiling, add the meat from the pork hocks as well as the meatballs - if the liquid cools off too much, place the lid on to bring it back to a boil.
• Sift the remaining toasted flour over the pot by adding a little bit at a time and stir well between each addition. The amount of flour added depends on how thick you want your gravy, you can always add more later during the cooking time - I normally go for about 4 to 5 cups.
• Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 3 hours, stirring often - as the ragoût cooks, the sauce will thicken.
• After an hour of cooking, taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Another half an hour later, start boiling water in a medium pot. Add pork sausages and boil them for about 10 to 12 minutes.
• When time is up, remove them from the heat and gently scrape the casings off; discard them.
• Add the sausages to the ragoût and let them simmer for the remaining 1 hour.
• When the 3 hours is finally up, taste and adjust the seasoning by adding salt, pepper and mixed spice.
