Ingredients

  1. Pork shanks
  2. 1 tomato (peeled and chopped)
  3. 50 ml red wine (I used Robertson pinotage)
  4. Half an onion sliced
  5. Half a green pepper chopped
  6. 2 tbs balsamic vinegar (I used olive pride)
  7. 1 tsp dried chilli flakes (Robertson's spice)
  8. 1 tbs rajah (flavorful & mild purple box)
  9. 2 shredded off stalk Fresh rosemary
  10. to taste Salt
  11. 1 bay leaf
  12. 100 ml water (more if needed)
  13. As needed Cooking oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the shanks in clean water — season with salt and dust off with flour. Lightly grease a pan with a few tablespoons of cooking oil and heat on the stove. Toss the shanks the pan until they brown on each side. Remove from the pot into a separate bowl.

  2. 2

    In the same pot goes onions, green pepper, rosemary, one bay leaf and spices (chilli and rajah). Keep an eye especially on the onion from burning. As the onions and green pepper soften and the release of aromatics come through from the rosemary and bay leaf, throw the shanks back into the pot.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped tomatoes, wine, vinegar and water. Close the pot and let everything infuse and cook for +- 45 mins. Check salt to adjust some more if needed. Switch off the heat and leave on the stove to simmer before serving with pap, rice, samp or dumplings.
