Pork Neck Soup
1 lb. pork neck bones
2 cups mixed cooked beans, or see below for dried beans
2 medium carrots, chopped medium
2 stalks celery, chopped medium
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup purslane* (greens), chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
2 tspsns fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tspn fresh spearmint, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh stevia, finely chopped
1 Tbspn corn starch
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
*If using dried beans and not leftovers or canned beans: The night before, soak dried beans under triple the water to allow full expansion. The next morning, drain water, put beans in pot, cover with boiling water to an inch above beans; add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 chopped onion; cover, bake in preheated solar oven until tender. (They will continue to cook in soup.)
1. Over medium-high heat, brown pork pieces in heavy skillet; remove to stock pot. Add enough boiling water to reach 1/2 inch above meat; add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook in solar oven until meat is falling off bone, approximately 3-1/2 to 4 hours. (Can be done at same time as beans are baking.)
2. Prepare and chop vegetables and herbs; place in large mixing bowl and add corn starch, salt and pepper; mix thoroughly.
3. When meat is done, remove from oven, drain liquid into large bowl; set aside. Let pork necks cool until you can separate the meat from the bones with your fingers (or, use a knife and fork -- my favorite method). Discard bones and cartilage.
4. Return liquid to stock pot, add shredded pork and rest of ingredients. Bring to boil on top of stove. Place pot in solar oven and let cook for approximately 2 to 3 hours, until veggies are soft and soup has thickened.
Serve to well-behaved guests who are not elbowing others out of the way. Make sure there's plenty of bread for sopping and cleaning the plate, too!
*A word about purslane (portulaca oleracea).

ReplyDeleteAnd the bones make all the difference. This was delish. Didn't even want to share with my sister!
DeleteI have been interested in solar cooking for years. I have just never gotten around to actually doing it. Your blog is full of SO much wonderful information. I am wondering, though, now that I live in Florida, the land of Jurassic sized bugs, do insects ever invade the ovens?
ReplyDeleteThanks you and thanks for stopping by. I've never had any bugs get into my ovens. The food is usually cooked in vessels and the heat is high enough to keep the bugs away. Florida is perfect for solar cooking. I lived in Dade County for years - and remember the daily showers, but they rarely last long enough to really interfere with cooking. I hope you'll come back, often.
