What goes with Pig's Trotter?
A pig's trotter offers skin and connective tissue around numerous bones, with relatively little lean meat. Moist cooking produces gelatinous tissue and a rich liquor. Its useful culinary structure comes from deboning, shaping and setting, not from treating it as a small pork roast.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Pig's Trotter?
Acidic relish, mustard or a fresh salad can accompany the rich portion without making its sauce heavier. Keep the crisp exterior exposed and use the cooking liquor selectively: a large quantity of strongly reduced gelatinous sauce can make the entire plate sticky.
