Pigs trotters

I've just bought half a Tamworth pig from a farmer and there are two trotters in there and I havent a clue what to do with them.

Anyone here ever cooked them and can they be tasty?

cheers

that recipe looks nice but has very expensive ingredients I'm not sure i want to experiment with pigs trotters.

Maybe I'll go retro and make a terrine.

Out of interest anyone here ever cooked trotters?

Well, I boiled the trotters for an hour then finished them in the oven with garlic, honey and chilli. They were pretty bad to be honest, just gristle bone and cartilage...yum.

Ahleckz, i ordered online from http://www.paddock.fm as I'd tried tamworth pork before from a farmers market and wanted to order a load in.

The pork is delicious, apart from the trotters of course
