  • 2 ham hocks
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped carrots
  • 3/4 cup chopped onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, (crushed)
  • 2 Tablespoons ham bouillon ((see note))
  • 5 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon per person sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • smoked paprika ((optional))

Instruction

  • Place all the ingredients into the slow cooker.
  • Make sure the stock not only covers, but sits above the ingredients (except the ham hocks). 
  • Turn the slow cooker to high for 30 minutes, the reduce to low. Cook for 8-10 hours.
  • Pull the meat off the ham hocks and stir. Serve with a little sour cream or plain Greek yogurt on top - and a dusting of smoked paprika if you like! Some warm garlic toast is perfect on the side.
