- Divide the ham hock between 4 ramekins or similar pots. You could also make this as one large pot, if you like.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat. When it begins to bubble, add the mustard powder and nutmeg. Season.
- Take the flavoured butter off the heat and pour over the ham hock pots, dividing equally. Press the ham down so it is submerged.
- Leave to set, and chill until ready to serve. Serve the pots with sliced toasted ciabatta or sourdough, cornichons and lemon wedges.
- Get ahead: Can be made up to 3 days in advance. Keep covered with clingfilm in the fridge until needed.
