Recipe(tried): Souse as Mums make it

Main Dishes - Pork, Ham
A recipe by my mum Matilda Corriette. I usually use pigs trotters.

SOUSE

Pigs head or trotters (pigs feet)
3 limes
water
For the Brine:
1/2 hot pepper
juice of 1 lime
1 clove of garlic
2 blades of chive
1/2 tsp of fresh thyme
salt and oil to taste
small amount of grated cucumber (for serving)

Wash and clean head or trotters in limes and water. Put them in boiled salted water for 20 minutesThen throw away this water. Then clean the trotters by scraping with a knife to remove fine hairs.

Then boil again, adding the brine seasonings: chop up chive, hot pepper, garlic. Add lime juice, salt and oil to taste. Boil until soft. It is soft when you bite it or it is beginning to come off the bone. Refrigerate it overnight to remove fat.

When the fat is removed, reheat. Add some grated cucumber.

If you want to make a meal, serve with a cucumber salad.
