Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole pig feet
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 1 large onion
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 3 whole bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 cups organic low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 whole celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the pig feet under cold running water thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with water and half a cup of white vinegar. Let them soak for 15 minutes, then drain and rinse again.
Slice the onion into large pieces and crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife.
In a slow cooker, place the pig feet at the bottom. Add the sliced onion, crushed garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, smoked paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the organic low sodium chicken broth over the pig feet, ensuring they are mostly submerged. If necessary, add a bit more water to cover.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture. Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 hours or until the pig feet are very tender.
Slice the carrots and celery into large pieces. After 4 hours of cooking, add them to the slow cooker.
Before serving, place the cooked pig feet on a platter, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
