Körömpörkölt is the heavyweight champion of stews. Its taste and consistency differ completely from other stews, this sticky dish is unique in its way. It can be also treated as a “medicinal preparation” because körömpörkölt is rich in collagen, which is good for your skin and joints.
I always use the hind pork feet as they are fleshier than the front feet. I usually ask the butcher to cut the feet into bigger pieces, so I just have to rinse and clean them at home.
Pork feet stew is served with boiled potatoes that can be cooked in the stew. In this case their taste will be more intensive. Of course, this is optional, if you want, you can cook the potatoes in salty water.
The gravy of a good pork feet stew is thick, sticky and gluey, meat easily comes off the bone. As this dish can’t be eaten in a civilized manner, it’s recommended to partake of it only with family and friends.
