Preparation

1. Rinse the beans with cold water and pick over carefully. Put them in a heavy casserole with the pig’s feet and tomatoes. Add water to cover. Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, or until cooked, adding more water if necessary. Set aside until half an hour before serving.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir in to the beans the parsley, garlic, 4 tablespoons butter, more salt and pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, dot with remaining butter and bake, uncovered, until sizzling.

• The beans may also be heated on top of the stove. Omit the bread crumbs.
