    🛒 Ingredients
    • 5 pork shanks
    • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
    • 1 large onion, sliced
    • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

    • 1½ tsp BlixSam Dop ’n Tjop
    • 1 tsp BlixSam Steakhouse
    • 1 to 1½ cups BlixSam Sweet & Sour Sauce
    👨‍🍳 Method, Layered the BlixSam Way
    1️⃣ Bloom the flavour foundation
    Heat oil in a large pan.
    Add onion and garlic.
    Sprinkle in Dop ’n Tjop and Steakhouse directly into the oil and let it bloom with the onion.
    This is where the deep flavour starts.
    Once soft and fragrant, remove and set aside.
    2️⃣ Build the meat layer
    In the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed.
    Brown the pork shanks well on all sides.
    Let them develop proper colour, this locks in flavour.
    3️⃣ Build the sauce layer
    Place the browned pork shanks into a deep oven dish.
    Add the bloomed onion and garlic back over the meat.
    Pour over the Sweet & Sour Sauce, coating everything well.
    4️⃣ Seal and slow cook
    Cover tightly with foil.
    Bake at 180°C for 1½ hours until the meat is soft and tender.
    5️⃣ Finish the glaze
    Remove foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes if you want a sticky, slightly caramelised finish.
    Spoon sauce over the shanks before serving.
    🔥 Serve with
    Buttered cabbage, mash, or soft pap to soak up that sauce.
