Procedure:
Prepare the neck bones
A bowl or a colander inside the sink is perfect to washes the port neck bones. Remove all the blood, cartilage, and visible fats using your hand from all pork neck bones. Rinse two or three times to wash correctly. Before turning off the faucet, make sure you have separated all loose fat parts using a sharp knife.
Seasoning of the pork neck bones
Now keep all the neck bones in a mixture bowl. The bowl should be larger enough so that you can get enough space to move insider all items. Be sure your pork necks have no excess water after the washing has been done properly. However, sprinkle you favorite seasoning on all sides of the neck bones properly. Or you can add a mix of salt and pepper (as per your taste). Finally, mix them well and keep them aside for the next step.
Cook the neck bones
Now again take this pot under the faucet, and fill the pot with water approximately 2 inches up. The neck bones should stay under the water in this bowl. Once the bowl neck bones are covered by enough water, now take the bowl to the stove.
Start cooking. Cook for around 10 to 15 minutes at a medium-high temperature. Let the neck bone boil well. Once the inner water fully boiled, you will see a foam layer forming onto the water layer. use a spoon and carefully skim the foam off your cooking pot.
Simmer The Neck Bones
It is the final and crucial part of this recipe. At this stage, you have to lower the temperature as much as you can. Then, let the larger pot simmer for 1 to 2 hours by covering tightly it with a lid.
Add additional ingredients
Once the simmer has been done, remove the lid from the pot. Add your favorite spices, vegetables, carrot, baby corn, green bean, onion chops, bay leaves, potato pieces, and one spoon of garlic paste or garlic powder.
Cook for additional 15/20 minutes
After you have added all the vegetables to the steamed pork neck bones, now again cook it for another 15 to 20 minutes. You can simmer the whole cooking inside again for another 30 minutes so that the pork neck becomes tender and juicier enough.
Smocked it
You can cook directly the neck bones with lots of spices and oils with a few drops of liquid smoke inside an oven. Just be sure you have added the liquid smoke at the last 5 minutes of the cooking. You have to ensure you are not adding too much of this liquid smoke, it will make a massy sause-like taste from the pork neck bones.
It’s a little bit tricky solution to smoke the neck bones. Adding a little bit of this liquid smoke will let down the tray, so I don’t think it gonna spoil your recipe as much.
However, I follow another tricky way to smoke the neck bones. After the whole cooking is done, I just keep hot coal wrapped by an aluminum foil inside the neck bones serving dish. I little bit open the aluminum foil, and add some ghee over the hot coal. After than I covers the neck bones serving dish as early as possible. Hot coal merging with ghee, exerts some sweet smoke, which makes the neck bones very smoky and yummy. It’s an traditional Indian way, I personally choose it.
