Red wine Pig's Trotter

are large pieces of Pig's Trotter

in thick Red Wine Gravy

I could remember during my childhood years

this was a favourite Dish served during Weddings and Birthday feasts

cooked by the Foochow people

in many of the villages in Sitiawan,
like Simpang Tiga, 
Simpang Dua, 
Ayer Tawar 
and Kampong Koh, Perak

It was served in such a big portion that

guests would usually come with their own tiffin carriers

to take home the left over

pig's trotter

Ingredients:

1/2 pig's trotter
1 Tbsp red rice wine residue
1 pc ginger, smashed
2 pc dried cuttle fish
salt and sugar to taste

Method:
1) wash the chopped pig's trotter
2) add ginger and dried cuttle fish
