Pork Bones Recipe from Zimbabwe

Written by Published on in Meats, Muriwo, Pork, Traditional, Vegetables

I love pork bones!!…who doesn’t? Especially those that have been done so well, that is to say, full of flavour and tender. Yes! bones can be tender too. This is exactly how I did them here and boy did we enjoy ourselves! You are in for a treat. However, the trick is to let them simmer gently in your well seasoned liquid. That’s it. That’s the catch. 

Goes down perfectly neSadza (with pap).
