Stinco con verdure

Stinco con verdure is a traditional meat dish. It's usually prepared with a combination of pork hocks, carrots, onions, potatoes, cabbage, salt, and pepper. The hocks are placed into a wide pan and boiled in water over low heat for a long time. The meat is then seasoned with salt and pepper, while the carrots, onions, and potatoes are also added to the pan and simmered for a short while. Finally, the cabbage is added and the stew is cooked until all the vegetables become tender, yet slightly firm to the bite. The dish is especially popular during winter.
