Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pig intestines
• 1 cup White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 3 Red chili peppers, sliced
• 1 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 cups Chicken bone broth
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 Scallions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly clean the pig intestines by rinsing them under cold water and turning them inside out. Soak them in a bowl of water mixed with 1 cup white vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sea salt for 30 minutes, then rinse well.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the cleaned intestines. Parboil for 5 minutes and drain. Let the intestines cool, then cut them into 2-inch pieces.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and sliced red chili peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cut pig intestines to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes to lightly brown them.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut aminos and chicken bone broth. Stir in the ground paprika, cumin, and coriander. Bring the liquid to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the intestines braise for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally. The intestines should become tender and absorb the spiced broth.

Step 7

Taste the braise and adjust seasoning with additional sea salt, if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced scallions before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Paleo Spicy Braised Pig Intestine on its own or pair with steamed vegetables for a complete Paleo-friendly meal.
