Today I present to you one of my favorite dishes (although I hadn't eaten in a long time): pig's trotters in sauce. Many people say they don't like the texture of pig's feet. However, I find them delicious.

How to prepare granny's pig trotters

  1. The first step is to boil the pig trotters. We fill a large pot with water and put the pig's trotters together with a whole onion (without the skin), the leek cut in half, the whole peeled carrot, the bay leaves, the thyme branch and a little salt.
  2. Once we have all the ingredients submerged in the pot with water, we boil it for about 45 minutes in a pressure cooker. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can leave it on high heat for approximately 3 hours.
  3. After this time we take out the pig's trotters and reserve the water we have used since we will use it later when we prepare the sauce.
  4. It's time to prepare the sauce! We take the other onion and cut it brunoise style. Chop the garlic cloves into small pieces.
  5. In a casserole, add a splash of olive oil and let it heat over high heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic that we just cut.
  6. Once the onion becomes transparent, add the diced bacon and let it cook for a few minutes.
  7. Next we add the flour, let it cook for 3 minutes (without stopping mixing) and pour the glass of white wine to cook. Let's reduce the alcohol.
  8. Once the alcohol has evaporated, add the sweet paprika and a little salt. Stir to mix all the ingredients well.
  9. Finally we add the 160 milliliters of tomato and about 400 milliliters of the water that we have reserved from cooking the trotters. We mix everything.
  10. Add the pig's feet into the sauce that we are preparing and let it cook for about 25-30 minutes over medium heat. It is important that after a quarter of an hour you turn the trotters around to get them to cook on both sides.
  11. After this time we serve the pig's trotters in sauce on 4 plates and all that remains is to enjoy some good pig's feet with a little bread to dip in the sauce.

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
