have access to other inexpensive cuts, pork hocks or neck bones can be swapped in for some or all of the shanks, though shanks provide the best combination of meat, bone, and collagen for that glossy sauce. For a slightly smokier version, you can replace part of the salt with a small piece of smoked pork (like a ham hock) in place of one shank, but this technically adds an ingredient. To make this more broth-like, add up to 2 extra cups of water and serve as a soup over
My great aunt made this every spring when money was tight. One tough cheap cut transforms into the most tender meal your family will devour
