Heavenly primeval ham hocks

Surprise your guests with a super tasty intermediate dish In the southern United States, they call primeval ham hocks pig wings. It is a traditional barbecue dish there that is cooked very slowly at a low temperature (low & slow cooking). The primal ham is the shoulder shank of a pig, weighs about 300 grams and contains a slightly protruding bone in the middle (handy to hold when you're slicing it off). You can buy pre-cooked primeval ham hocks from a (good) online butcher that you just need to heat up (30 minutes on the barbecue over indirect heat at 150 degrees), but preparing them yourself is much more fun and tasty, as you control the taste. It is something you have to take your time for (3 to 4 hours), but it is well worth the wait. The meat becomes so tender that, like pulled pork, you can easily pull it apart. With the recipe below, you put a pure taste sensation on the table that many people have never heard of. The long cooking time and unfamiliarity have the advantage that primeval ham hocks are very kindly priced.
