Pigs trotters & cheeks

[mikehunt69]

I have 4 trotters and 4 cheeks. Any suggestions for a recipe?

Google "Kocsonya" and you will get various recipes for Hungarian pork aspic. You have the exact base for this dish and it's not that hard to make. I don't see it pointed it out in the few hits I read, but use very little or no salt, else the broth will not set.

I had some pork cheeks last year and couldn't find a recipe I liked so I ended up winging it braising them in chicken stock and hard cider with sweet potatoes, leeks, carrots and celery with a little fresh ginger. It turned out pretty great.

Great recipe for the cheeks here:

Although, it's a heck of an amount of honey which we cut down to just a couple of tablespoons.

Cheeks, braise them and make a ragu. Or braise till tender, cool, cut into bite size pieces, bread them, and make nuggets.

trotters can go a couple ways. But braise or cook in a court boullion until tender. Cool it, and then possiblities are endless, you could grill them, debone and make a roulade or use them in a stew. Also if you have access to a smoker, you can smoke them too.
