Pork Neck Bones: Tender, Flavorful, and Easy to Cook

Rinse 2 to 3 pounds of pork neck bones under cold water, removing any loose fat or cartilage. This step is key for a clean, tasty dish. Place the neck bones in a large pot or Dutch oven. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then mix with your hands to coat evenly. Cover the bones with 2-3 inches of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, then skim off any foam that forms on top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours. This long simmer is what makes the meat fall-off-the-bone tender. Add chopped veggies like carrots, onions, or potatoes for the last 20-30 minutes. Serve warm with rice for a hearty meal. Pork neck bones are underrated—super flavorful and affordable! #PorkNeckBones #HomeCooking #SoulFood #Food #Cooking
