This is a very Puerto Rican Dish. You'd be surprised of how delicious it is. I even add 1/2 cup of sliced almonds to the stew. I serve it over White Rice.
Stewed Pig Feet (Patitas de Cerdo Guisadas) Servings 6
4 pigs feet, split by the butcher 1/2 lbs cubed smoked ham 3-1/2 tablespoons white vinegar 1 tablespoon Adobo Salt & Pepper to taste A pinch of ground allspice A pinch of nutmeg 5 whole cloves stuffed as for a ham into a big onion 1 bay leaf 2 chopped onions, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper 4 garlic cloves, chopped 1/2 cup sliced celery 1/2 cup tomato juice 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes processed 2 tablespoons Tabasco or to taste 4 potatoes, peeled and cut in big chunks 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 1 cup white wine 1/4 cup brown sugar
Placed washed and sliced by the butcher fresh pigs' feet in a large pot with sufficient water to cover. Bring to a boil. Add remaining ingredients except the potatoes and reduce heat to low. Cover the pot tightly and simmer slowly for 3 hours or until tender. During the last 15 minutes, add the potatoes and cook until tender.
