PORK SHANKS SLICED

Low & Slow. Rich & Tender. Pure Comfort on a Plate.

Sliced Pork Shanks are cut from the lower leg of the pig — a rugged, hardworking muscle packed with collagen-rich connective tissue that transforms into something magical when slow-cooked. As the collagen breaks down, it creates a silky, deeply flavoured sauce that coats every tender morsel of meat. This is the cut for hearty, soul-warming meals that fill the kitchen with an incredible aroma and leave everyone scraping the pot.

Why You'll Love It

• Bone-in sliced cut — the bone adds rich depth of flavour to broths and sauces
• High in collagen — melts down to create a naturally thick, glossy sauce
• Incredibly tender when slow-cooked — the meat falls clean off the bone
• 1kg pack serves 2–3 people, perfect for a family dinner
• Versatile — braise, stew, roast, or slow cook

Cooking Methods

Braise (Recommended): Brown the shanks in a hot pan with oil on all sides. Add onions, garlic, tomatoes, and stock. Cook covered at 160°C for 2–2.5 hours until the meat is falling off the bone.

Stew / Potjie: Add to your potjie with root vegetables, red wine, and stock. Slow-cook over low coals for 2–3 hours for a deeply flavoured, hearty potjie.

Slow Cooker: Cook on low for 7–8 hours in broth or tomato-based sauce for effortless, tender results.

Serving Suggestion: Serve over creamy mash, pap, or buttered egg noodles with the braising liquid spooned generously over the top.
