What's a good substitute for Pig Trotter?
For a similar collagen-rich result, use extra chicken feet or add chicken wings. If you prefer, use beef bones or oxtail for a different but equally flavorful stock. Adjust cooking time slightly if using larger bones.

What's a good substitute for Rosemary?
Thyme is the closest substitute, as it's already in the recipe. You could also use sage or oregano. If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1/3 the amount of dried herbs. These alternatives will change the flavor slightly but still provide a nice herbal note to the stock.

What's a good substitute for Carrot?
Parsnip or turnip can work well. They have similar texture and add sweetness to the stock. If you don't have those, celery root or additional celery stalks can also provide depth of flavor.
