Recipe for Crubeens

Serves 6. Crubeens, the Irish name for salted pigs trotters have long been a favourite in Ireland. The front feet are considered to be sweeter and more meaty and succulent than the back legs.

These are less meaty and more grisly and best used for their gelatinous quality they give to and pies.

Crubeens were regular in pubs, a particular favourite with not only the customer but also the publican who was fully aware of the thirst they provoked!
