Ingredients:
6 pig trotters (pig feet)
750ml water Water
1 tbsp Salt
2 tbsp freshly-squeezed Lime/lemon juice
2 whole hot chillies (habanero or Scotch bonnet), left whole
1 tbsp flat-leaf Parsley, chopped
1 tbsp Thyme leaves chopped
3 garlic Cloves minced or chopped
2 spring onions, chopped
Method:
To prepare the pig trotters, wash them by rubbing with lemon halves then place in a pressure cooker wth a little water. Add some garlic an a little salt and pressure cook for 30 minutes until tender. Once the pressure cooker has cooled, discard the water then strip the skin and meat from the pig trotters, discarding any imperfections. Rinse the skin and meat then set aside. (You could also boil in a large pot for 90 minutes).
In a bowl, combine the water, onions, garlic, salt, lime juice, parsley, thyme, scallions and peppers. Take a spoon and gently crush ingredients against the sides of the bowl, so that they can commingle better and distribute their flavours.
Turn the mixture into a pan, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. At this point add the pig trotter meats and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
Adjust the seasonings to taste and serve.
