Ham Hock Casserole Slow Cooker

Slow Cook Pork Hock Stew or Slow Cooked Pata is something that I look forward to during weekends, especially on chilly days. This dish is simply pork pata (or pork legs) that are slow cooked with potatoes, carrots, tomato sauce and spices. It is a perfect lunch treat that I like to have with rice or crackers.

Slow Cook Pork Hock

I know that Slow Cook Pork Hock Stew tastes delicious. What really made me love this dish is its awesome texture. The pork literally melts in my mouth. Although the taste and texture are both superb, there is still this guilt feeling within me because I know that this is not the healthiest food around, but I thought that it will be okay as long as I do not eat this often. After all, I was able to do my afternoon jog today. I will just run and exercise more often then.

Another great slow cooked pork dish that deserves to be mentioned is Slow cooked pork chop with shiitake mushrooms.
