Ingredients

• 2 pounds pig feet
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 sliced celery stalks
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cleaning the pig feet thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pig feet and sear them on all sides until they are golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the pig feet from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.

Step 5

Pour in the apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Transfer the pig feet and sautéed vegetables to a slow cooker.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.

Step 8

Stir the ingredients to combine well.

Step 9

Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for 6 hours, or until the pig feet are extremely tender and the flavors are well amalgamated.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and discard them.

Step 11

Serve the slow-cooked pig feet warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
