NECK BONES & RICE



Neck Bones & Rice image

A rustic Southern recipe of rice cooked in the savory stock from slowly simmered pork neck bones.

Provided by Mandy Rivers | South Your Mouth

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3-4 pounds pork neck bones
1 small onion, finely diced
3 tablespoons bacon grease or vegetable oil
3 cups water
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice

Steps:

  • Heat grease or oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Season neck bones with 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes then add them to the hot pot. Let the neck bones sear a few minutes, stirring occasionally to move them around a bit.
  • Add onions, stir then continue cooking for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low, add water and remaining teaspoon of salt then cover and slowly simmer for 2-3 hours. It's OK if the water doesn't cover all the neck bones - they will cook down. DO NOT let the pot boil - just slowly simmer.
  • Taste stock for seasoning then add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Stir in rice then increase temperature to high. When broth begins to boil, stir to ensure rice isn't sticking to the bottom. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the rice isn't sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Turn off heat, leaving pot on burner, and let rest, covered for 30 minutes before serving.

NECKBONE & RICE CASSEROLE



Neckbone & Rice Casserole image

Another one whose history is lost. The writing on the 3x5 card isn't anyone I recognize. I've had the cook book, I found the card in, for 25-30 years. I haven't even thought of this dish in at least 10 years but I'm fixing it tomorrow for supper. ( When I first submitted this recipe, I just said neckbones. Recipezaar's editer kicked it back with the question what kind of neckbones, Pork, Beef, Turkey, etc. I've always made it with Pork but Beef sounds good and Turkey sounds fantastic! I'm going to have to try them both, but the turkey first I think.
