Method

Step 1 of 4

Using a small sharp knife, score ham several times. Place ham and herbs in a large saucepan. Cover with 2L cold water. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, skimming the surface occasionally, for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Drain ham and reserve liquid. Cool ham. Shred ham and discard hock.

Step 2 of 4

Heat 2 tsp oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery and potato and cook, stirring for 10 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and cook, stirring for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add reserved cooking liquid to vegetables. Increase heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in ham, beans and sauce.

Step 3 of 4

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease and line a baking tray with baking paper. Place sourdough on prepared tray. Drizzle with remaining oil and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until bread is golden.
