Meat Recipes by Carlos Mirasierras

Ingredients for 4 people:
4 pig's trotters
1 leek
3 onions
2 green peppers
5 garlic cloves
1/2 l. tomato sauce
1 sprig of thyme
1 bay leaf
4 chorizo peppers (they can be replaced by 3-4 tsp of paprika)
4 slices of Serrano ham
water
some olive oil
salt
parsley
Preparation:
Cook the trotters (salted and peppered) in a pressure cooker, together with the leek,
one onion, 3 garlic cloves (unpeeled) and some sprigs of parsley for an hour counting
from the moment the steam starts to come out.
Chop the remaining 2 onions and peppers into julienne, and cut the remaining garlic
cloves into slices. Next, fry the veggies in a pan with oil, add the bay leaf, the sprig of
thyme and season; once the trotters are cooked add them, together with some of the
resulting broth, to the veggies (now that they have taken a brown color). Add also the
tomato sauce, a bit of the broth and the paprika (instead of the meat of chorizo
peppers). Let it cook for 10-15 minutes.
Cut the Serrano ham into slices, fry them quickly on both sides, and top the trotters
with them and with some chopped parsley.

Advice: the cooking time of pig's trotters in a normal pot is 2 to 3 hours, and require
adding a little water from time to time to prevent its drying out .
