Pork Neck

The other week we thought we should get some meat that we could slow cook.  Market Meats had a 2kg piece of pork neck that looked promising.  So we got it.  Turns out it was all meat and not meat with bones in the middle.  Winning!  

Found a recipe online that seemed simple enough.

Pork neck ingredients

So mix up a heap of garlic, a tablespoon of bacon fat (cause I had some, otherwise just use oil) and a heap of thyme (I can't remember if I added that parsley at the end).

Marinade

Rub it all over the pork

They said "a handful of bayleaves" so I probably could have used more (hey! I'm not driving!)

Come back five or six hours later

Shred it all up

I didn't get any photos, but at the end, take all the sauce from the slow cooker and boil it up with a stock cube (that bone broth in the photo above was all solidified), 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, a generous tbsp corn flour, maybe a cup or so of water (not sure how much I used - I thought I used too much but I think it was ok).  Boil it all for a bit til it thickens.

Edit: did this again and got a photo this time.  Also, don't add a cup of water, only add enough to make a slurry - it'll be a lot quicker to thicken!

Then mix it all back in the slow cooker.

I had to put some in the freezer, then we spent the next two weeks getting through the rest of the leftovers!  So good!!!!
