Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork neck bones
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken or beef broth
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• Cooking oil (vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

1. Season the pork neck bones with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat some cooking oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or pot.
3. Brown the neck bones on all sides in the hot skillet. This will add flavor to the dish.
4. Set the neck bones aside after removing them from the skillet.
5. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the same skillet. Cook until they are softened.
6. Cook for another minute after adding the minced garlic.
7. Pour in the chicken or beef broth and the diced tomatoes. Combine thoroughly.
8. Season with dried thyme and cayenne pepper to taste.
9. Return the browned neck bones to the skillet, nestling them into the mixture.
10. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and cook the neck bones for 1.5 to 2 hours. The meat should be tender enough to fall off the bones.
11. Occasionally check and stir the mixture during cooking, and add more broth as needed.
12. Remove the skillet from the heat once the neck bones are tender, and the flavors have developed.
13. Serve the flavorful vegetable mixture on top of the Southern-style Neck Bones. Enjoy the tender and tasty meat, as well as the aromatic vegetables!
