Step 1

Pat the neck bones dry and season both sides of each with the spices.

Step 2

Place a large pot on medium-high heat. When hot add the olive oil along with the seasoned neck bones.

Step 3

Sear each side of each neck bone.

Step 4

Add the onions and saute for 2-3 minutes or until soft and fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broth to the pot and deglaze the pot by scooping up any brown bits (leave them in the pot for flavor) with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 6

Adjust the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer for 2-4 hours. The longer the neck bones cook, the more tender they will be. Fall-off-the-bone neck bones typically take 3-4 hours.
