Step 1

Rinse the pig feet under cold running water thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with water and half a cup of white vinegar. Let them soak for 15 minutes, then drain and rinse again.

In a slow cooker, place the pig feet at the bottom. Add the sliced onion, crushed garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, smoked paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes.

Step 4

Pour the organic low sodium chicken broth over the pig feet, ensuring they are mostly submerged. If necessary, add a bit more water to cover.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture. Cover the slow cooker with the lid.

Step 6

Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 hours or until the pig feet are very tender.
