To prepare pork under a fur coat, the following ingredients are needed: 500-600 g of pork, 2-3 medium potato tubers, 2 medium heads of onions, 3 medium tomatoes, 200 g of hard cheese, 2 cloves of garlic, 100 g sour cream, salt, ground black pepper, fresh dill or parsley. A little vegetable oil is needed to grease the baking dish.
Almost any part of the carcass is suitable for cooking pork dishes. However, for a festive table, it is better to cook pork under a fur coat in portions. In this case, the neck will be the best choice. It is washed, dried with paper towels and cut across the fibers in large pieces, about 1.5 cm thick. Each piece must be carefully beaten off.
To prevent blood and small pieces from scattering throughout the kitchen, it is recommended to wrap the pork with plastic wrap.
Cloves of garlic are passed through a press. Then the pieces of pork are rubbed with salt, black pepper, garlic and favorite seasonings. In this form, the meat should lie down for 20-30 minutes.
Onions are peeled. Each head is cut lengthwise and chopped into thin half rings. Hard cheese is rubbed. Potato tubers are washed in running water, peeled, and then chopped using a blender. You can use a coarse grater to chop potatoes.
Mashed fresh potatoes darken quickly in the air, so it is recommended to pour cool water on it. Before use, the potatoes are thrown into a colander until the liquid drains completely.
Tomatoes need to be peeled. To do this, the fruits are cut crosswise, scalded with boiling water and dipped in cold water. After that, the peel is easily removed. Prepared tomatoes are cut into thin circles.
The baking dish is greased with vegetable oil. Pieces of pork are placed at the bottom of the mold. On them - thinly shredded onions. Gently chopped potatoes are placed on top of the onion, trying to form approximately equal-sized servings. The top layer is tomato circles. Sour cream is laid out for each serving of pork under a fur coat.
If the dish is prepared for a family dinner, you can cut the pork into small pieces across the fibers and put all the ingredients in a baking dish in layers: meat, onions, potatoes, tomatoes.
The oven is heated to 180 ° C. The form is sent to the middle level. Baking time - 40-50 minutes. 15 minutes before the dishes are completely ready, they take the form out of the oven and sprinkle pork under a fur coat with grated cheese. Then the dish is returned to the oven and waiting for the cheese to turn into a delicious ruddy crust. You can sprinkle the dish with cheese just before baking. In this case, you need to cover the form with foil. Otherwise, the cheese will burn, and the appearance, as well as the taste of pork under a fur coat will be spoiled.
The finished dish is served hot, decorated with fresh herbs of dill or parsley. If pork under a fur coat was prepared in layers, it is cut into approximately equal slices before serving.
