1 large onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons salted black beans (optional)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
Some pineapple chunks
½ cup dried banana blossoms (optional)
2 pieces dried bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole peppercorn

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large pot with enough water, peppercorns and bay leaves. Bring the pot to a boil and just let it simmer. It should take between 1-1/2 and 2 hours for the shanks to become completely tender, or pressure cook for about 20 to 25 minutes.

2. After an hour, add the pineapple juice, onions and garlic and continue to simmer.

3. Once the pork is tender, season it with sugar, salted black beans, soy sauce, vinegar. Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Let the seasoning be absorb by the meat.

4. No need to add salt, since the black beans are already salty. Adjust taste as needed.
