Now next question is where the heck can I find pig's feet (as so many of you are eager to try this recipe!). Well, I have lived now in 5 states and have been lucky to find pig's feet in every state. Often you can find it at your local supermarket, if not try Asian or Hispanic ones.
Believe it or not my daughters LOVE this recipe. My oldest, the tween will leave the beans to the side, but will NOT miss a piece of meat though. She will clean the little bones better than any dog would (well the dog would actually eat the bone, right?). The toddler is still too young to eat the meat around the bones (chocking hazard) so I carefully cut all the meat and mix it with the rice and beans and she devours it all. Next day if there are any leftovers she takes them to daycare (hmmm... I wonder if anyone there ever noticed it was pig's feet she was eating!)
INGREDIENTS
3 lbs fresh or frozen pig's feet - not the smoked or jarred type please!1 lb of bacon cut into pieces
1 tbsp of olive oil
2 diced onions
4 cloves of garlic chopped
2 bay leaves
3 cans of beans (I prefer white or red beans, but you can use whatever ones you want)
1 to 2 liters of chicken or beef stock
salt & pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
- If you are using dry beans, soak them overnight
- Clean well the pigs feet, I usually rinse them through vinegar and leave them for a few hours with water and salt
- In a large pot add the olive oil and lightly brown the onions, garlic and bacon
- Add the feet and brown them lightly from all sides
- Add some of the stock and all other ingredients. Stock should cover everything, but if need be add a bit more from time to time
- Cover and let it all simmer for at least 2 hours
- Serve with some white rice and do not forget a nice bottle of red wine or beer!
