Stewed Pigs Feet

Pigs feet once considered to be a delicacy
in the southern United States, have seen better days.
Slow cooking is still the best way to release
the awesome flavors contained in pigs feet.
Pigs feet are not as fattening as you might think.

Ingredients:
4 – pigs feet, split in half lengthwise
2 - medium onions, chopped
2 - stalks celery, chopped
1 - garlic clove, chopped
1 - bay leaf
1 - teaspoon salt
1 - cup white vinegar
1 - teaspoon black pepper
3 – teaspoon crushed red pepper
barbecue sauce
water

Directions:
As always the key to great cooking is to
be prepared and to use quality ingredients.
Okay, so where do you buy pigs feet?
Often times you will have to ask the
grocery store butcher for the pigs feet
because they're usually frozen and sometimes
stored in the back of the store.
Begin by giving the pigs feet a good washing.
For presentation purposes remove
any unsightly hair that you observe.
Yes pigs grow hair on the toes
and feet just like humans.
A disposable razor will remove the hair.
Place all the ingredients in a
large boiling pot and cover with water.
Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat
and then reduce heat to a simmer.
Cover pot with lid and allow pigs feet
to cook until tender, about 3 hours.
While your meat is cooking stir constantly
and skim away any foam that develops.
