- 6 cups Water(or enough to cover)
- 6 cloves Garlic(minced or grated)
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)
- 2 stalks Celery(thinly sliced)

👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Wash the pig's feet thoroughly, scrubbing with lime juice and rinsing under cold water. If using cow's heel or skin, prepare accordingly.
- 2
Place the cleaned pig's feet in a large pot. Add garlic cloves, a few sprigs of thyme, and a little salt. Cover with about 6 cups of water.
- 3
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone. You can also use a pressure cooker for about 45-60 minutes.
- 4
Once cooked, drain the water from the pot, leaving the tender meat. Discard any imperfections or excess fat.
- 5
In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced celery, chopped scallions, chopped thyme, and hot pepper (finely minced or whole, depending on desired heat).
- 6
Add the fresh lime juice, sliced or diced cucumber, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently crush some of the ingredients against the side of the bowl to release their flavors.
- 7
Add the cooked pig's feet to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are coated. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight, for the flavors to meld.
- 8
Serve the souse cold, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. It is traditionally eaten with bread or Johnny cakes.
