Ingredients

2 pounds dried white beans
2 pig's feet, split
1 10-ounce can plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup parsley, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup dried bread crumbs

Steps:

Rinse the beans with cold water and pick over carefully. Put them in a heavy casserole with the pig's feet and tomatoes. Add water to cover. Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, or until cooked, adding more water if necessary. Set aside until half an hour before serving.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir in to the beans the parsley, garlic, 4 tablespoons butter, more salt and pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, dot with remaining butter and bake, uncovered, until sizzling.
