So I bought this from the supermarket
I don't know what it's called, it's the top part of a pig's leg (cooked)
I want to make a stew from it with potatoes, onions, tomatoes, that kind of thing.
Problem is I don't know what to search for on the internet? What's this thing called? What is the type of stew I'm thinking of called?
I read on reddit you can just dump everything in a pot and slow cook it, can I do this with this type of meat?
It's called a pork leg, or in culinary language, "fromage del la porke leg".
You can't stew it because it's already been cooked, what you can do though is deep fry thin slices of it in peanut oil to make what the ancient slaves of the Mongolian empire called "Wong cuck". Make sure to serve with a side of milk sauce dip for authenticity.
make a ham bone soup out of it.
put it in a crock pot with some veggie or chicken stock with some diced onions, celery, can or two of diced tomatoes/rotel (if you want the green pepper flavor), and some kidney beans
let it go on high till everything get real hot and then bump it to low to simmer for a couple hours. Its pretty good over rice. This is what i do with my hambone from thanksgiving and x-mas and those are precooked too.

thanks anon that sounds really tasty, much more appetizing than wong cuck
when you say over rice, wouldn't it be to liquid for that? Or does simmering it dry it out

no its definitely a liquid consistency. It's fine without the rice, just with it adds some texture. Kinda like putting your gumbo over rice.
It also goes really well with some cornbread
It's called a ham hock.
don't cook it again, it will be shit
at least not for hours like the other anon said

if it's already cooked, cooking it again will make it dry as fuck

are you saying you would pull a hamhock out of the package and start gnawing on it? They are tough as shit bro, you have to boil them to eat them
get about 1lb of collard greens, cut off a couple of big chunks of that, coarsely chop the greens, add the pork, put some vinegar in along with about 4 cups of water, simmer for about an hour and a half or until the greens are tender but not mushy. serve with fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy.
