It is necessary
- - pork - 1 kg;
- - garlic - 1 head;
- - ground black pepper - 0.5 teaspoon;
- - hot red ground pepper - 0.5 teaspoon;
- - basil - 1 teaspoon.
- - salt - 1 teaspoon.
Instructions
Step 1
Pork is traditionally used for boiled pork. It is not worth removing layers of fat from it - in which case, you can get rid of them after cooking. The fat will make the boiled pork more juicy. You can also use other boneless meats.
Step 2
We disassemble the head of garlic into cloves, clean. We cut half the cloves into longitudinal plates 2-3 mm thick - about 20 slices should turn out. Grind the other half, mix with salt and spices ground in a mortar. Spices for boiled pork are selected to taste. Be sure to use only black and red ground pepper. You can add to it: chopped bay leaves, cumin, paprika, fennel. Roll the chopped garlic cloves in a mixture of salt and spices.
Step 3
Rinse the pork with cold water and dry it completely. We make small cuts with a knife and press the pieces of garlic dipped in spices into them. With the remaining spices, thickly coat the entire piece of meat - so that the garlic cloves do not fall out. Put the pork in a tightly sealed container and put it in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
Step 4
After removing from the refrigerator, the meat should be kept at room temperature for about an hour. Next, we wrap it with a double layer of foil. It is necessary to pack as tightly as possible so that the juice released during frying does not leak out and evaporate.
Step 5
Put the meat in foil on a baking sheet and put in the oven. We turn it on at 120 degrees, and 10 after warming up - by 180. At this temperature we bake for 1, 5-2 hours. Periodically, you can pour a little water on a baking sheet so that the meat does not burn. Then carefully open the foil (so that the juice does not flow out). We bake another 15 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees, so that the boiled pork acquires an appetizing crust.
Step 6
Cool the finished boiled pork at room temperature, and then send it to the refrigerator for 12 hours.
