A relatively inexpensive African-American dish, Pig's Feet is very delicious! Serve with homemade potato salad, Southern style greens and candied yams and cornbread. It is even better the next day, and it freezes well. Serve sprinkled with a little more vinegar or hot sauce to taste.
Instructions
1. Soak the pig’s feet in salt water for 20 mins, then scrub and rinse well.
2. Meanwhile, chop the onions, celery, and peppers into small pieces.
3. Add flour to the broth and stir until well dissolved to create a slurry.
4. Place a large pot over medium heat.
5. Add in the pig’s feet, chopped vegetables, minced garlic, and seasonings (except for the red pepper flakes).
6. Add in the slurry, vinegar, wine, and Worcestershire sauce.
7. Cover with a lid and cook for 3hr 30mins..
** Stir periodically so they don’t stick**
8. Once done, add in the hot sauce & red pepper flakes, then stir well.
Notes
Vegetable Broth is a good substitution for chicken broth if you don’t have any.
To clean the pig’s feet, soak them in enough water to cover them with 1 tbs of salt.
