Delicious de-boned stuffed Pigs Trotter with home made tomato sauce ...
*the whole pigs trotter is not for the faint hearted as it looks a little like a human arm when raw ... but fun to cook and even better to eat!
We bought our Pigs Trotter from: KC Continental Stores on Caledonian Road near Kings Cross station where the owner is always keen to share his knowledge of Umbrian cuisine so this is based on his recipe.
Ingredients
Makes 8 servings
- 1 x Negroni Stuffed Pigs Trotter (soaked for 24 hours in cold water)

2. After 24 hours, drain the soaking water and refill with fresh cold water, once again ensuring it is well covered with water.
3. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 2 hours with the lid on.
4. 10 minutes before the pigs trotter is ready to slice and serve, place the tomatoes, onions, cannellini beans, garlic and seasoning into a pan and simmer for 10 minutes
