Instructions
 

Neck Bone Preparation

  • Place Neck Bones in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle a generous amount of Olive Oil. Add all the Seasonings in. Using your hands, rub the Olive Oil and Seasonings into the Neck Bones being sure to coat thoroughly. Set aside and let marinate with seasonings for 20 minutes or so.
    **this can be done the night before and placed in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature 30 minutes prior to cooking.

Instant Pot

  • Add 2-3 cups of water and granulated Bouillon into Instant Pot canister and give it a stir. I placed a small roasting rack with handles at bottom for easy removal prior to thickening gravy but it is optional.
    ***the amount of water will depend on size of Instant Pot. I have a large one so 2-3 cups was perfect.
  • Nest the Neck Bones into the Instant Pot and seal with lid. Be sure the seal is on completely.
  • Turn the Pressure Cook on High. Pressure Cook for 50 minutes. Let the steam release completely on its own. Meat should be fork tender.

Gravy

  • Once the steam is released. Turn off Instant Pot. Carefully open. Remove the Neck Bones and place on to a dish.
    ***using the roasting rack with handles makes it easier to complete this step, as you will just grab the handles with tongs and remove all in one.
  • In a small bowl, mix Cornstarch with 2-3 tbsp of cold water to create a slurry.
  • Turn on the Sauté function on Instant Pot and add sliced Onions & minced Garlic. Bring the broth to a simmer stirring periodically until Onions begin to soften. Add slurry in and whisk until gravy thickens. If it is not thick enough for you, create another slurry and slowly add in a little at a time until desired consistency is achieved. Taste to see if additional seasonings are needed.
  • Place the Neck Bones back into gravy and spoon gravy over top. Turn off Instant Pot and let it rest until ready to serve.

Serve

  • Serve over White Rice with a side of sautéed Cabbage & Greens and a slice of Cornbread. Delicious.
