Pig’s trotters

Directions

1. Wash the pig trotters well then put in a large pot with the mint. Pour in enough water to cover, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, over and cook gently for about 80 minutes, or until the meat is tender.

2. Take the pan off the heat then set aside until cool. Drain and pat the pig trotters dry, then strip off the skin and meat. Chop these finely and discard the bones.

3. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and garlic and fry for about 4 minutes, or until soft. Now stir in the bell pepper along with the chopped pig trotter meat and skin. Continue frying until the ingredients begin to brown then stir in the peanuts and oregano. Cover with water and bring to a boil.

4. Stir in the chopped potatoes and the beef broth. Continue cooking over low heat until the potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes).
