Chinese Style Pig Trotters

Chinese Style Pig Trotters.

Serves a few as a nibble or starter - too rich for a whole meal.

I think many people don't eat these tasty little morsels simply because they don't know what to do with them and they don't know how insanely good they taste. Heres and easy recipe. By the way piggies hoofs are cheap cheap! 6 hoofs cost me $3.20.

6 pigs trotters - cut in half lengthways and then into 4 or 6 pieces.

5cm piece of ginger chopped

5 garlic cloves - crushed

50ml dark soy

100ml light soy

100ml cider vinegar

50gm brown sugar

150ml pineapple

50 ml chinese cooking wine

1 star anise

1 cinnamon quill

Heat the oil in a large pot and brown the trotters off.

Add the garlic & ginger, star anise & cinnamon and give a quick stir to release the flavours.

Add the remaining ingredients.

Add enough water to cover the piggies trotters.

Bring to the boil and then simmer for about 2 and a half hours. So simple!

These are a sensational gelatinous taste sensation. Grab a cold beer and snack away to your hearts content. YUM
