Patte De Cochon (French Canadian Pork Hock Stew)

"This is a tradional French Canadian dish. Every "Quebeqois" knows what this is. It is basicly a poor mans dish. Farmers found use for every part of the animals they farmed. This recipe uses the pork hocks. This was served at least once a week at my grandparents house."
