Ingredients:
4 pigs feet split in half lengthwise
2 medium onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 teaspoons crushed red pepper
barbecue sauce (optional to pour on after cooking)
water
Cookware and Utensils:
1 dutch oven or large boiling pot
1 cutting board
1 cutting board
1 measuring spoons
Instructions:
As always the key to great cooking is to be prepared and to use quality ingredients. Okay, so where do you buy some pigs feet? Often times you will have to ask the grocery store butcher for the pigs feet because they’re usually frozen and sometimes stored in the back of the store.
With pigs feet and the rest of the ingredients in hand you are now ready to start cooking.
Begin by giving the pigs feet a good washing. For the purpose of presentation, remove any unsightly hair that you observe. Yes, pigs grow hair on the toes and feet just like humans. A disposable razor will remove the hair.
Place all the ingredients in a large boiling pot and cover with water. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and allow pigs feet to cook until tender, about 3 hours. While your meat is cooking stir constantly and skim away any foam that develops.
I included barbecue sauce as an ingredient for those of you who like to eat this delicious meat topped with bbq sauce.
Enjoy
