Steps

• Prepare the stuffing
• Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
• In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until they become translucent.
• In a bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with the bread crumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the stuffing.
• Prepare the pig's trotters
• Rinse the pig's trotters under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
• Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise incision on the top side of each trotter, creating a pocket for the stuffing.
• Stuff each trotter with the prepared stuffing, pressing it firmly into the pocket.
• Secure the opening of each trotter with kitchen twine to prevent the stuffing from falling out during cooking.
• Cook the stuffed pig's trotters
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place the stuffed pig's trotters in the skillet and sear them on all sides until they turn golden brown.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the trotters for 90 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through.
• Remove the trotters from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips

• Serve the stuffed pig's trotters with mashed potatoes or a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
• If you prefer a crispy exterior, you can broil the trotters for a few minutes after baking.
