Ancho Chili Pig’s Feet

Ever cooked with pig’s feet before?  I sure hadn’t till this weekend.  You know me…I see a weird part of an animal and I just…HAVE to eat it.  That sounds awful.  Pleassssse don’t get grossed out and run away just yet…they were actually quite delicious.  A little interesting to eat, but delicious.

I know pig’s feet are generally used just as a flavoring agent–I’d only ever seen my mom use pig feet and hocks to make split pea soup.  And I guess you see them pickled but that just looks nasty to me.  There isn’t too much meat on them but a nice amount of fat and skin, which gets soooo tender and crispy when they’re slow cooked in the sauce then broiled to perfection.

Warning: you will get messy.  I started off with knife and fork but realized that it’s so much easier to tear into them with hands and bare teeth.  Kinda like ribs.  Soooo I wouldn’t wear white.  Trust me, it got a little primal in here.
