I have made Ouillade (ham hock stew) and it is way too salty. I think I should have soaked the hock before I boiled it.
Is there a way of reducing the salt? or shall I just bin it.?
thank you

Hello,
It would be a shame to waste it without trying to save it.
I would strain it and save the stock.
Bring it slowly to boil with fresh water and some black pepper and when it’s hot see how it tastes. If it will take a little salt you could add some of the salty broth to taste, and perhaps a handful of freshly chopped parsley.
