Seems that Asians have a thing for pigs feet. That deserves a shout out. Back here in the US of A, believe it or not, pigs feet are very popular. You can boil them, pickle them, grill them and fry them.
My humble recipe follows.
* 6 pig's feet, split
* 2 cups wine or 2 cups tarragon vinegar or 2 cups vinegar
* 2 onions
* 2 bay leaves
* 1 tablespoon paprika
* 1 red pepper pod
* 1 teaspoon whole cloves
* 1 teaspoon dry mustard
* 1 teaspoon celery seed
* 1 pinch marjoram
* salt & pepper
Directions:
1. Wash pig's feet well. Cover with cold, salted water. Soak.
2. Drain. Place in a stockpot. Cover with cold water and simmer 1 hour.
3. Add vinegar, onion, bay leaves, paprika, red pepper, cloves, dry mustard, celery seed, marjoram, salt and pepper to season. Simmer until tender.
Soak the pig feet for about 2 hours.
Simmering takes a loooong time. Be sure to check on your water level occasionally.
When you stick a fork in your pigs feet and the meat separates like magic, then they are done. Enjoy.
