Mizoram Mizo Pork Trotters Feet Boiled Ginger Slow Cook

Method

1. 1

   Clean pork trotters thoroughly: scrape off any remaining hairs with a razor or burn over a flame. Wash under cold running water.

2. 2

   Place trotters in a large pot with 4 cups cold water.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil. Skim all foam from the surface thoroughly for the first 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add crushed garlic, sliced ginger, whole green chillies, turmeric and salt.

5. 5

   Reduce to the lowest heat. Cover and simmer for 90 minutes to 2 hours until the trotters are completely tender, the skin is gelatinous and the meat falls from the bone easily.

6. 6

   In the last 20 minutes remove the lid to concentrate the broth.

7. 7

   The broth will be naturally thick and gelatinous from the collagen in the trotters.

8. 8

   Garnish with spring onion and coriander. Serve with steamed rice.
