How to make Pig Feet Stew

  1. Step 1

    Clean the pig’s feet thoroughly and place them in a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the pig’s feet, rinse them, and return them to a clean pot with fresh water, salt, and the garlic cloves.

  3. Step 3

    Cook until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Squeeze the lemons and strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.

  5. Step 5

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onion. Add the lemon juice and chili peppers, cut into quarters.

  6. Step 6

    Add the cooked pig’s feet to the mixture and stir to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 4 hours to absorb the flavors.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the Saus with pig’s feet on their own or accompanied by salad or white rice.

  2. For a richer flavor, consider marinating the pig feet in some of the spices overnight, if possible, before cooking.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different cut of pork instead of pig feet?

    Yes, you can substitute pig feet with pork shoulder or another meaty cut if pig feet are not available.

  2. Do I need to peel the cucumbers before slicing them?

    Peeling is optional. If the cucumbers have a thick or bitter skin, you may peel them. Otherwise, leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

  3. How should I store leftovers?

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

  4. What can I serve with Pig Feet Sauce?

    This dish pairs well with white rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

  5. Is there a way to enhance the flavor further?

    Adding vinegar during the last 30 minutes of cooking can enhance the flavor with extra tanginess.
