Questions about Pork feet
What are pork feet called?
They are also called pig’s trotters or pork trotters. The feet contain skin, bone, connective tissue and little meat, so they are usually slow-cooked until tender.
How do you cook pork feet until they are tender?
Rinse them and simmer gently in water or stock for about 2½–3 hours, until the skin and connective tissue are soft and the meat pulls away from the bone. Skim the pot as it cooks, and add aromatics such as onion, garlic, bay and peppercorns.
Can you cook pork feet in a pressure cooker?
Yes. Cook them with enough water or stock at high pressure for about 45–60 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally; add more time if they are not tender. Chill the cooking liquid and it will often set into a savoury jelly.
How should you store pork feet?
Keep fresh pork feet chilled and cook them within a day or two of buying, or freeze them for longer storage. Refrigerate cooked feet and their broth promptly in a covered container, and use within three to four days.
What dishes use pork feet?
Pork feet are used in dishes such as Filipino pata tim, Chinese braised pig’s trotters and French pieds de porc. Their gelatin-rich cooking liquid also works well in soups, stews and jellied meat.
What can you use instead of pork feet?
Pork hock or a bone-in pork shank can give a stew a similarly rich, gelatinous broth, though they have more meat and a different texture. For a recipe that needs the sticky skin and connective tissue, pork hock is the closer substitute.
Are pork feet nutritious?
A typical portion of 113 g provides 26 g of protein and 14 g of fat. They are also a source of selenium: a 100 g portion provides 23.3 µg.
Are pork feet the same as pork trotters?
Yes; “pork feet” and “pork trotters” refer to the same cut. “Trotter” is especially common in British food writing, while recipes may also call them pig’s feet.
