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.

Overall, this is a good recipe. The stew is hearty and flavorful. However, I would recommend using a different type of sausage. The one I used was a bit too spicy.

This recipe was a disaster! The meat was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned tomatoes. Next time I'll try using fresh tomatoes.

I've made this stew twice now and it's become a favorite in my household. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I added some carrots and celery and it was even better. I highly recommend this recipe!

This pork hock stew is a true taste of French Canadian comfort food. The meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.
