An exciting and alternative approach to pork from Forbes in Ayr

Serves 5

Ingredients

For the pig's trotters

  • 5 pigs' trotters
  • small jar of honey
  • 100g demerera sugar
  • water

For the vegetables

  • 4 potatoes per person
  • 4 carrots
  • spoonful of honey
  • splash of olive oil
  • pinch of salt

Method: How to make honey-roasted pig's trotters with vegetables

1. Put the pigs trotters in a large pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 45 minutes or more depending on the size.

2. You will know when they are ready when the meat starts to fall away from the bone when you prod them. When they are ready, take them out of the water and place them on a baking tray.

3. At this point, heat the oven to 180°c.

4. Score the skin on the meat and pour on the honey to coat the trotters, then sprinkle brown sugar over them. Adjust the amount of honey and sugar according to taste.

5. Leave to set and put more honey on top before placing them in the oven.

6. Cook at 180°c for 15 minutes or until they are crisp and brown.

7. For the vegetables: Peel and cut the potatoes according to size. Put in a colander and run under cold water to get out the starch.

8. Cook on a baking tray with olive oil and salt for 45 minutes.

9. Cut and peel carrots. Boil until soft, drain and put in a spoonful of honey. Put back on the heat stirring to cover all the carrots with honey.
