  • About

This is a dish from the Brianza region of northern Italy. It’s a real rib-sticker and quite delicious. If you get the opportunity, obtain a pig’s trotter and cut it into 4 pieces. Without it, the finished dish will not be quite so perfect.

Ingredients

  • 4 small onions, sliced
  • 200 g (7 oz) butter
  • 12

Method

In a large pot, soften the onions and the butter over a medium heat. Add the pork rind and the trotter and brown lightly. Pour over enough water to cover, and simmer, partly covered, for 1 hour, turning occasionally to prevent sticking.

When the water has nearly all evaporated, add the ribs, cook for about 15 minutes, then add the carrots, celery and cabbage and cook for a further 30 mi
