It's hard to see how you could impress anyone with cooked pig's trotters - in a positive way, that is! The BBC food site is always a good place to start.

Have you any idea what you want to end up with? You could make a brawn but gently boiling the trotters with a hunk of ham till it is all rendered down. Strain and remove all meat and chop finely and put juice and meat in a bowl with some seasoning and allow to set in the fridge.
