Smart Alec Pork Neck Bones Spaghetti Pressure Cooker Style Recipes

SMART ALEC PORK NECK BONES SPAGHETTI - PRESSURE COOKER STYLE

Steps:

• Place neck bones and water in pressure cooker and after it starts steaming, cook for 30 minutes. This cooking method is used to remove fat from the neck bones.
• You can also boil the neck bones in a pot for 90 minutes.
• Remove the liquid from the neck bones in the cooker; replace liquid with the spaghetti sauce.
• Bring to a simmer stirring often, so the neck bones or sauce won't stick to the bottom.
• Simmer for about 15 minutes to heat up the sauce.
• Serve with cooked pasta sprinkled with cheese.
• NOTE: If you serve this to your guests, warn them before hand that this dish is so good it'll curl their toes and make them speechless for a while.
• I felt like I was in heaven while eating it. LOL.
• TIP: Put the stock from cooking the neck bones in the refrigerator. The next day, remove the solid fat from the top and use it to make soup, Jambalaya, or Dirty Rice.

MAORI BOIL-UP WITH DOUGHBOYS (DUMPLINGS)

Steps:

• Add stock, water and pork to pot, bring to a boil then cover and simmer for an hour.
• Soak watercress in cold water for 10 minutes. (This removes bitterness) Squeeze out moisture and break into pieces. Set aside.
• Add kumara, onion, green onion and tomatoes to stock and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Remove pork and chop into pieces. Return meat to stock and boil for 5 minutes. Add salt and watercress and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the doughboys. Cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Stir in enough milk to make a stiff, slightly sticky dough.
• Drop either teaspoon or tablespoon sized amounts of the doughboy mixture into the the boiling pot, cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes. Don't lift lid while cooking. Larger doughboys will take a bit longer.
• Serve with a garnish of chopped cilantro.
