About the Recipe
Ingredients
3 lbs Pork Neck Bones
1 can of tomato sauce
1 can of crushed tomatoes
tomato paste
2 yellow onions
6 cloves of garlic
1 tsp brown sugar
Fresh Basil
Oregano
Italian seasoning
Salt + Pepper
1/2 cup water
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp lemon juice
Preparation
Pork Bones in Red Sauce
Step One: In a large pot, add olive oil. When hot, add pork bones. Generously salt & pepper each side and sear.
Step Two: Once both sides are seared, remove pork bones and place on a plate to rest. In the same pot, add two small chopped yellow onions and 6 chopped garlic cloves. Cook until translucent. (It is important to use the same pot to absorb the flavor of the meat)
Step Three: Add in fresh basil and simmer.
Step Four: Put bones back into the pot. Add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of water.
Step Five: Add tomato paste, herbs, & brown sugar and mix well. Bring the pot to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes. After 15 minutes add lemon juice and stir.
Step Six: Cook covered on medium/low for around 3 hours or until the meat falls from the bone. Make sure to stir occasionally
Optional: halfway through the cooking process, add more fresh basil. Place over your favorite pasta for a complete meal
