Neck Bones Escarole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Sprinkle 3/4 of the onion and garlic into the bottom of a roasting pan; pour in the vinegar and water. Season the neck bones with salt and pepper and place into the roasting pan. Sprinkle the remaining onion and garlic over the neck bones; cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes. Be sure to recover the foil every time you baste. After 2 hours, remove the foil and continue baking until the neck bones are golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Season neck bones all over with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Add neck bones to pot and sear for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Add onions and 3 cups water. It's O.K. if the water doesn't cover all the neck bones; they will cook down.
• Reduce heat to low, cover and slowly simmer, stirring occasionally, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
• Remove the cooked neck bones to a separate bowl. Bring liquid to a boil, then add pasta and more salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Stir constantly for the first 2 to 3 minutes to keep pasta from sticking. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
• Meanwhile, if you'd like, remove the meat from the bones using your fingers or a fork. Discard bones and any cartilage. When pasta is done, stir the cooked meat back into the pot. Serve hot alongside a heaping of greens (collard or mustard) and a hunk of cornbread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350f.
• Brown neckbones in a heavy skillet or dutch oven, cast iron works best.
• Remove with slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
• Add stock to the pan, bring to a boil, scrape and deglaze.

• Butter a casserole dish, add rice.
• Mix the Onion, onion powder, and celery seeds.
• sprinkle 1/2 of the onion mix on the rice.

• Sprinkle remainder of the onion mix over neckbones.
• Add the stock, molasses, and drippings mixture.
• Cover, bake for 1 hour.
• Serve with a loose leaf lettuce salad dressed with nice Balsamic vinaigrette and some Merlot.
