Ingredients
- 4 whole pig feet
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 10 pieces whole black peppercorns
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups chicken bone broth
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cleaning the pig feet thoroughly under cold running water. Remove any hairs by briefly using a torch or by shaving off with a sharp knife.
Step 2
Peel and quarter the onion. Peel the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a slow cooker, place the cleaned pig feet at the bottom.
Step 4
Add the quartered onion, whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, and black peppercorns to the slow cooker.
Step 5
Pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken bone broth over the contents in the slow cooker.
Step 6
Season with salt, and add the fresh thyme.
Step 7
Chop the carrots and celery into large chunks and add them to the slow cooker.
Step 8
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 hours. This long and slow cooking process will tenderize the pig feet beautifully.
Step 9
After 6 hours, test the pig feet for tenderness. They should be soft and almost falling off the bone. Adjust seasoning with more salt if necessary.
Step 10
Serve the slow-cooked pig feet in a bowl, ensuring some of the flavorful broth and vegetables accompany each serving.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
