Pig’s trotters is a dish worthy of the most special occasions. With a few variations, it is prepared in numerous regions. You can add powdered cinnamon, make the sofritos (basic tomato sauce) with pork lard, add mature wine, cover with breadcrumbs, substitute turnips for the salsify (also called black salsify), etc. If it is eaten the following day it tastes even better. Some people first bring the trotters to the boil and then change the water.
