Barbecued Pigs Feet
Serves 6

Ingredients

7 pigs feet, split in half, length-wise
2 quarts of water
2 cups of white vinegar
2 large onions, chopped
2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup of crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons of salt
1 tablespoon of ground black pepper
3 cups of barbecue sauce

Directions

Wash the pigs feet well. Place them into a large pot
and pour into the water. Add the vinegar, onions,
green peppers, red peppers, salt and black pepper.
Heat to boiling over medium heat. Reduce the heat
to simmering and cook, covered, until just about
tender (about 2-1/2 hours). Skim the surface and
stir the pigs feet occasionally during cooking.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Remove the pigs feet
from the broth with a slotted spoon. Arrange them
side by side in 2 baking pans large enough to hold
them in a single layer. Spoon the barbecue sauce
over them and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat
to 300°F. and continue cooking until tender (about
35 minutes).
