MOM'S NEW YEARS PIG'S FEET

Mom's New Years Pig's Feet image

This is a recipe for trotters passed down over time in my family. This was made every New Year's Eve to bring in the new year. A relatively inexpensive African-American dish. 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.

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 23

Ingredients

For the Pig's Feet:
2 long-cut pig's feet
6 cups chicken stock
1/2 bunch thyme
1 onion, peeled and halved
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
Salt
Herb Filling:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 yellow onion, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt
1 teaspoon minced thyme
1/2 teaspoon minced rosemary
Breading and Frying:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dried bread crumbs
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Approximately 8 cups vegetable oil
Salt.

Steps:

1. Combine the pig's feet, stock, thyme, onion, carrots and peppercorns in a pot just big enough to fit the pig's feet. Season well with salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for about four hours, until very tender (the bones should pull away from the meat). Remove to a plate and cool just until they can be easily handled. Discard the cooking liquid and vegetables. 2. While the feet are cooling, make the filling. In a small covered pot over low heat, cook the onions and garlic in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until tender, about 7 minutes. Cool and stir in the herbs. Remove the bones from the feet by twisting and pulling. (This is a bit difficult, especially for the queasy - do not be afraid to use a little force, but try to keep the flesh and fat intact.) The feet will have opened up at this point, with the fat side on the bottom; lay each one on a piece of plastic wrap. Taste a small piece of the meat for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Spread half of the herb filling on each foot and roll tightly in the plastic until it forms a taut cylinder, then tie the ends. Refrigerate overnight. 3. Put the flour in one bowl, the bread crumbs in a second bowl, and the egg, water and mustard in a third bowl. Unwrap the feet and cut them into 1/2-inch slices. Dip the slices in the flour, shaking off the excess. Follow with the egg wash and then the bread crumbs. Let rest for at least half an hour. 4. Pour about 2 inches of oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. When it reaches 350 degrees, add the slices in small batches and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Use a spatter screen if you have one, and be careful not to stand directly over the hot oil.) Drain on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve warm over a salad dressed with mustard vinaigrette, allowing 2 slices per person.
