Yes, it can't compare to properly raised Berkshire pig, but a good marinade or brine can work wonders on the supermarket stuff.

No amount of brine can bring flavor to the poor thing, raised on a low fat awful diet in the dark. :) Don’t waste your time with pork unless your pig was raised humanely the old school way eating a varied and healthy diet out in the pasture..not the factory farm way.

I love the herbs you've used to braise the shanks here Giff! It's a deparature from the Greek version which would use cinnamon, savory and bay to flavor the dish ... and you've completely and utterly got me craving this now! The lamb “youvetsi” is my favorite.

It is smaller than a quarter teaspoon.<br/><br/>Savory is an herb that can be a bit tricky to find. It is used in french cooking with meats and beans. Personally I can only get it in ground form. It is considered closest to marjoram, so you can leave it out (I used a very subtle amount here), or use some marjoram, or a bit more sage. a pinch in my world is literally the amount of spice you get when you “pinch” your thumb and forefinger together.
