                     A bit on the slow side to get onto the plate, but powerful on the palette


                     1.   Roughly chop the carrot, onion and celery and put in a
                          large pan with the ham hock, thyme, bay and garlic. Cover

                          with water. Bring to the boil and simmer until the meat                                                ½ onion
                                                                                                                           1 celery stick
                          begins to fall off the bone – about three hours, maybe                 1 ham hock, soaked for 24 hrs in water
                          more. Check the hock during this time to make sure the                                    3-4 sprigs of thyme

                          (keep the cooking liquor). When the meat is cool shred it

                          with your fingers, picking through it and discarding any fat
                          or sinew. Put in a bowl with the mustard and parsley. You
                          don't need to season it as the reduced cooking liquor in
                          which you will set the terrine will be salty.

                     3.   Reduce 1 litre of the ham liquor to 200ml by boiling. Add
    Left back
                          to the ham. Press into a 750ml terrine or loaf tin and
                          refrigerate. It's best to leave it for a couple of days (in the
                          fridge) before eating.

                     4.   Serve with beetroot relish and some good bread.

                      it starts to crisp up, then turn off the heat. Add your                                     ¼ of a nutmeg
                                                                                         small ball of buffalo mozzarella cheese
                      cooked pasta to the oregano butter, along with a couple
   English            of spoonfuls of the reserved cooking water and the
                      Parmesan, fontina or taleggio and mascarpone.

                 3.   Return to a medium heat and toss and stir around until
                      most of the cheese has melted and you have a lovely
                      gooey sauce – you may need to add a little more of the
                      reserved cooking water. Season to taste, then tip it all into
  Right back          an earthenware dish.

                 4.   Grate over the nutmeg, tear over the mozzarella and
                      sprinkle over the extra Parmesan. Bake the macaroni
                      cheese in the preheated oven for about 10
                      minutes, finishing up with a quick whack under the
                      grill, until golden brown and crispy on top.
