Ok, I know what you are thinking. Pork Necks???? Yes, yes...I was skeptical at first as well. However, as I read about the cut of meat, I found that it was often described as tender and rib-like. So, I decided to give it a try. The cut is much cheaper than any ribs I have been able to find. These turned out fall-off-the-bone and succulent. As my husband said, "This is the poor man's rib." So the next time you are at the store, just step back from what the cut says and just give them a try. They really are delicious!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 Tablespoons Whole Grain Dijon Style Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
3 1/2 Pound Fresh Pork Necks
1/4 Cup Water
3 Tablespoons Sweet/Spicy BBQ Sauce
1. In a small bowl, combine the mustard and seasonings to create a flavor paste. Rub the pork necks with the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
3. Prepare a baking sheet with a lip with a wire rack setting over it. Place the meat on the wire rack in a single layer. Pour the water into the bottom of the pan. TIGHTLY cover with aluminum foil.
4. Carefully place in the oven and cook for 2 1/2 hours.
5. After 2 1/2 hours, remove from the oven, uncover, and brush with BBQ sauce.
6. Return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes, uncovered.
