Yes, you read that right: Pig's feet. This is my version of an old recipe that my husband's mother made and if you can get past the main ingredient, you'll have a delicious, authentic Peruvian dish to enjoy. I think of it as rather a dish to be served in chilly weather, but you could make it any time. My husband is from Lima, Peru, so this is only one version of the traditional dish, but it's a tasty one! <br /> <br />I had asked my husband why Peru had so many dishes using meats that many Americans would think of as "throw away parts", and he explained that during colonial times there were many slaves who brought their cuisines to Peru, as well as a large population of impoverished folk who just had to make the best of the meats they could get hold of. This recipe is the result of Latin ingenuity and great flavor. Don't be afraid to try something new!
