Instruction manual
1
To make boiled pork, you need to take a whole piece of meat and thoroughly rinse it with cool water, then cut off excess fat along the edges. Then dry with a towel and set aside for a while. This is best done the day before cooking - thus, the meat has time to dry enough.
2
Peel the garlic head and grate it on a fine grater, leave a few cloves and cut along. Mix the spices and thoroughly crush into flour using a mortar or coffee grinder. Peel and cut the carrots into small cubes, such that they are parallelepiped-shaped. Finely chop the fat. It must be cooled in advance. In a piece of meat, make deep cuts and stick in a piece of garlic and carrots, stuffed with lard on top. Rub the meat with a mixture of spices and garlic.
3
Pour red wine into a shallow container; an enameled pan or ceramic bowl is best. Put a piece of meat there so that the liquid occupies 2/3 of the surface. In this form, leave the piece for one or two days in a cool, dry place. In winter, you can take to the balcony.
4
After that, remove the meat from the pan or bowl and put it on a baking sheet previously covered with parchment paper and foil. Wrap a piece in foil so that it covers the entire surface of the meat completely. Not a centimeter of meat should look out, so the product is better saturated with spices and will not dry out during baking.
5
Baked boiled pork should be at a temperature of 200 degrees for two hours. The degree of readiness is determined by the smell and color of the liquid flowing from the meat. To do this, make a neat puncture with a fork or knife and look at what color the juice is inside. If it is transparent, then the product is ready and you can safely get it out of the oven.
6
Put the boiled pork on a large flat dish, and garnish with fresh vegetables, pickled mushrooms and plenty of greens. Cut across the fibers in large pieces.
note
Boiled pork can be used both in cold and in hot form. In its cold form, it is used in the preparation of canapes, sandwiches and all kinds of snacks.
Useful advice
The meat for boiled pork should be chosen fresher, with a small layer of fat on the surface, then it will be juicy and tasty.
