Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the beans with cold water and pick them over carefully. Put them in a heavy casserole with water to cover. Add the pig's feet and the tomatoes. Season with pepper, cover, and simmer for about 1½ hours or until cooked, adding more water if necessary. Set aside until 30 minutes before serving.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Stir the parsley, garlic, 1½ tablespoons butter, and salt into the beans. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, dot with remaining butter and heat through uncovered until sizzling.

Tip
  • The beans may also be heated on top of the stove. Omit the breadcrumbs. This dish goes well with roast lamb.

No butter or breadcrumbs; used pressure cooker; thickened broth w masa harina; added chopped chilpotle chillies w adobo, alspice, unsweetened cocoa.
Yum!

Bill yeah no way on the timing of this one.

I boil mine for 1 hr and then back them in bbq sauce for 2-3 hrs with them uncovered for the final 15 minutes to get that glaze on dem trotters....
