Smoked ham hocks are delicious with most kind of greens, like collards, turnips, mustard greens, or kale. Simmer the hocks in water for about 30 min., then add cleaned chopped greens to the pot & simmer until greens are very tender, about an hour. You can check for seasoning, generally salt isn't needed, but you might want pepper. Also good with cornbread to sop up the juices (potlikker) from the greens.

I make a tomato and rice soup.
Boil the hamhocks in about 2 quarts of water, 1 lg can tomato sauce, 2 cans diced tomatoes, You can add onions and peppers (which I can't eat) Some Italian seasonings and a little garlic. Simmer for about 2 hours and add 2 cups cooked rice. I let it set for about 30 mins, then serve. You can make this soup as spicey as you like. It freezes great. It works in a crock pot too. But I wait to add rice until 30 mins before serving.
