Pinto Beans & Pork Neck Bones Soup (Or Stew?)

Posted in  Dinner, Entrees, Meat Dishes, Pork Rules, Soups Or Stews No comments


I know it’s only Tuesday but this Pinto Beans & Pork Neck Bones Soup would be one of those crock-pot dishes you make during the weekends, starting it early in the morning, then serve to the whole family for dinner at night. On the weekends when all you want to do is hang out with the family and not bother too much with dinner. Or on the weekends when you have so much laundry to do that by the time you finish folding and putting away the 5th load of clothes, you just want to sit back in the couch, watch a movie or read a book.

So this soup is good for those times. Prepare it in the morning using your reliable crock-pot, and just leave the whole thing to cook for hours. Meanwhile, you get a nice home scent of home cooked meal that have been simmering all day long. Sounds good, no? I’m posting this now so you’ll have to grab what you need at the grocery store by Thursday or Friday.

As for the stew reference, I just threw it out there coz this soup has a slight thick consistency that others might say, it could pass for a stew. I refuse to call it a “stoup,” a term coined by Rachael Ray. That girl has a term for everything.

A crock-pot pork barbecue is one of the easy dishes you could make in the weekends...

The proper Filipino term for this pork roast dish is Pork Hamonado. I actually learned the recipe from my fellow foodblogger Iska. Her version is simmered in a regular pot for hours. I decided to use crock-pot for my version.

Just FYI, I hate, and I mean I really LOATHE Dr. Pepper. My husband loves it but I prefer Pepsi, diet of course. So when we buy sodas, which we’ve cut back on by the way, there’s Diet Pepsi for Mommy while Daddy and the son (occasional soda drinker) have Dr. Pepper. My husband loves to mess with me with when we order drinks at the drive-thru by giving me his cup of Dr. Pepper after swearing his life it’s my cup of Diet Pepsi. [Always] Oblivious ME, falls for it then I end up coughing the disgusting taste of Dr. Pepper in my mouth.

So I’m pretty sure you’re asking what the hell am I doing cooking with Dr. Pepper then?

Well, I’ve stumbled upon som...

sweet-pork-hocks

A step away from the usual sour, salty and spicy pork dish is this sweet dish using hocks cooked for hours in a crock-pot. It’s not something I make all the time because I much prefer salty, sour, and spicy tastes but it’s also good once in a while.
