Pig trotters are often overlooked as a less-delicious part of the animal and rarely cooked at home, however they used to be a very fashionable cut to eat and are delicious when cooked well.

If you’re feeling daring in the kitchen, you could try using pig trotters in a traditional French recipe, stuffed with a silky smooth chicken mousse or delicious earthy morels.

Pig’s trotters can be slow-cooked for 45 minutes until the meat becomes tender and falls off the bone – this can then be added to pies and casseroles!
