Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

1 kg pork trotters
2 T oil
1 onion, chopped
1 t paprika
1 t curry powder
3 cups water
2 cups beef stock
1 x 400 g can tomatoes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Rinse the trotters thoroughly under clean, running water. Heat oil in a large saucepan and fry onions and spices.

2 Add the trotters and fry for 10 minutes. Add the water, beef stock and tomatoes and season.

3 Cover and cook for 1–2 hours over a medium heat on the stove, or in the oven preheated to 200°C, until tender and falling off the bone, topping up the water when necessary.

Cook's note: In true African fashion, the concept of nose to tail was embraced long before it became a trend. Pork trotters are so delicious to eat cooked in a sauce or even cooked on hot coals and enjoyed as a snack.
