Pickled pig ears

A while ago, I wasn't a huge fan of offal - lungs, tails, ears and the like were off my food chain. But a passion for cooking and an interest in new flavors gradually pushed my usual boundaries. And I'll tell you frankly, pigs' ears in a spicy marinade - it's very tasty. At the same time and the cost of the dish is pennies, and it is prepared very simply. If you're ready to try it, here's the recipe.

Put the marinade in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure everything is evenly marinated.

I'll admit, after an hour I'm already starting to drag "straw" out of the fridge, and after 4 hours the container is already empty. But if you did endure it, serve the finished pickled ears as a spicy appetizer for beer, etc.
