PORK HOCKS AND MEATBALL RAGOUT
This is a french canadian must have recipe for the Holidays. Make ahead, store it containers in the freezer. It has a lot of steps, but that's what makes it so good. Most recipes has spices but this is how my mother made it and this is how we love it.

Steps:
- Instructions:
- Pork Hocks:
- Place in large roasting pan and cover with water. Add 1 chopped onion, 1Tsp salt, ½ Tsp pepper and bay leaf. Bake, uncovered in a 300 * oven for about 3 hours until thoroughly cooked. Remove meat from broth. Pour broth in container and set aside. Discard bones, rind and gristle from hocks, place meat in container and set aside.
- Browning flour:.
- Sprinkle flour on cookie sheet. Brown in a 375* oven, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Let it cool and sift to remove lumps. Whisk flour and water to make a paste. Set aside.
- Meatballs:
- Mix ground pork, ground veal, 2 finely chopped onions, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Shape mixture into small balls. Heat oil in skillet. Cook meatballs till done. Set aside.
- Sauce:
- Whisk together reserved broth and brown flour paste. Simmer 30 minutes until flour mixture is cooked and sauce has thickened. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Add meatballs and the reserved meat from hocks. Cool, pour in containers and freeze for later use. Voilà you have my recipe for ragoût!
- Tips:.
- The pork hocks can be cooked on the stovetop. I find the oven method easier.
- The sauce is not highly seasoned. Cinnamon and cloves can be added. Tasting after each addition is recommended to get the desired flavour.
