Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon coarse sea salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon garlic salt
2 pork shanks
2 tablespoons olive oil
water to cover
1 large onion, cut into chunks
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
1 ½ pounds ground pork
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon mustard powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅔ cup toasted flour
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, nutmeg, and garlic salt together in a bowl. Rub salt mixture all over pork shanks.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan. Cook pork shanks in the hot oil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour in enough water to cover the shanks. Stir in coarsely chopped onion and celery. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until pork can be easily removed from the bones, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Transfer pork shanks to a cutting board; shred pork.
  • Strain cooking liquid, discarding bones, onion, and celery. Pour strained liquid back into the saucepan. Stir in shredded pork.
  • Mix ground pork, finely chopped onion, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, ginger, mustard powder, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Shape into balls.
  • Pour toasted flour into a shallow dish. Roll meatballs in toasted flour.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in batches until browned, about 1 minute per side.
  • Stir browned meatballs into the shredded pork stew. Simmer, stirring in leftover toasted flour, until meatballs are no longer pink in the center and stew is thick, about 30 minutes.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've made it several times, and I've always found ways to change it up. I've used different types of meat for the meatballs, I've added different vegetables to the sauce, and I've even made it in a slow cooker

This is a very affordable dish to make, especially if you use less expensive cuts of meat. I used pork shoulder instead of pork shank, and it turned out just as tender and flavorful. I also used canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh, and it still ta

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal that my whole family enjoyed. I used pre-cooked meatballs and jarred marinara sauce to save time, and the dish still tasted great. Served it over spaghetti, and it was a hit with both kids and adults.

I made a few modifications to make this dish healthier. I used lean ground turkey instead of pork for the meatballs, and I added more vegetables to the sauce. The dish was still very flavorful and satisfying, and I felt good about eating it.
