Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2-2 pounds pork neck bones Raw, not cooked or smoked.
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups broth Any broth: chicken, pork, vegetable or simply water. Use enough liquid to cover the neck bones.
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup chopped onions I used white onions.
Instructions
- Season the neck bones on all sides with the spices.
- Add the broth to the slow cooker. Add the seasoned neck bones, onions, and bay leaf on top of the broth.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker. Slow cook for 3-4 hours on High or 7-8 hours on Low.
- I like to cook the neck bones until they are tender and fall off the bone.
Notes
Just like ham hocks, you may find packages of neck bones with little to no meat, which are mostly bones. Pay close attention and look for packages with meatier bones.
I find them readily available in local grocery stores. You can also check specialty markets, even some Asian grocery stores.
