Method

In a large stockpot, simmer the pig tails, peppercorns, and bay leaves in the chicken stock until the pork is very tender, 60 to 90 minutes, adding water as needed to maintain the level of the cooking liquid. Remove the pork from the broth, and reserve. Strain the broth, and reserve.
Remove the meat from the pig tails, cut it into a small dice, and reserve it.
