Saddleback Pig's Trotter

A once-popular cut that over the years has slightly fallen out of fashion at home. Pigs Trotters are a such a secret weapon in the kitchen and should not be overlooked. A favourite of great chefs like Marco Pierre White, they have appeared on many a menu over the years and are making a come back thanks to legends like Fergus Henderson and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Whilst they look a bit scary they are actually super easy to cook. They can be slow-cooked for anywhere from 45 minutes to hours at a time until the meat becomes tender and falls off the bone. A must for anyone wanting to add a little oomph to pies and casseroles.

x1 trotter per pack.

How to store

Your meat will arrive frozen.

When your meat arrives simply pop it into your freezer.

When you have chosen what you would like to eat, drop your items, still in their individual packaging into cool water and wait for 15 minutes until they are fully thawed. Once fully thawed remove the packaging and get cooking.

You can also gently thaw any items by leaving them in the fridge or at room temperature.

Larger joints and whole birds will require slightly more time to thaw. We recommend taking these out the day before and leaving them on your kitchen draining board to gently thaw.
