Ingredients

1 pound dried white beans
2 pig's feet, split down the middle
1 10-ounce can plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with their juice
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
Coarse salt to taste
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs

Steps:

Rinse the beans with cold water and pick them over carefully. Put them in a heavy casserole with water to cover. Add the pig's feet and the tomatoes. Season with pepper, cover, and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours or until cooked, adding more water if necessary. Set aside until 30 minutes before serving.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Stir the parsley, garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, and salt into the beans. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, dot with remaining butter and heat through uncovered until sizzling.
