4 pig's feet
2 1/2 lbs lean beef
1 small beef tongue
salt
1 whole pepper

Boil meats separately until done.
Cook bay leaf, whole pepper and sliced lemon with the pigs feet.
When meat is cooled, skin tongue and remove bones from pigs feet, along with the pepper, bay leaf and lemon slices.
Cut beef and tongue and feet into small pieces and reheat all ingredients in one pot.

Tips:

Choose fresh pigs' feet: Look for pigs' feet that are plump and have a light pink color. Avoid feet that are bruised or have a slimy texture.
Clean the pigs' feet thoroughly: Use a sharp knife to remove any excess fat or hair from the feet. Rinse the feet well under cold water.
Soak the pigs' feet overnight: This will help to remove any impurities and make the feet more tender. Change the water several times during the soaking process.
Cook the pigs' feet until they are fall-off-the-bone tender: This can take several hours, so be patient. You can cook the feet in a slow cooker, on the stovetop, or in the oven.
Add your favorite seasonings to the souse: Common seasonings include onions, garlic, celery, peppercorns, and bay leaves. You can also add vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and turnips.
Let the souse cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can serve the souse warm or cold.

Pigs' feet souse is a delicious and economical dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover pigs' feet, and it is also a good source of protein and collagen.
