Marinated Pork Roast

There is no feast we celebrate at the end of the year if it is not sovereignly ruled by the New Year's main dish in the form of - plentiful, crunchy, juicy, from which, at first glance, it is mouthwatering. It can be roast pork, golden roast turkey, or roast beef, but we often opt for pork roast. So here's how to bake delicious, soft, and juicy meat that will be remembered!

Ingredients:

  • 1.5-2 kg of pork shoulder or leg
  • 100 ml of oil
  • 2- cloves of garlic
  • 150g dried apricots
  • Salt, pepper, allspice, turmeric
  • Rosemary, thyme, if desired

Preparation:

Step 1: Put about 2- tablespoons of salt in a dry baking dish or a deeper pan and 1- teaspoon: of pepper, allspice, and turmeric. Stir, then add half the amount of oil and stir.

Step 2: Cut slices about 2.3 cm deep into the whole piece of meat. Put the meat in the spice mixture and rub well, adding the rest of the oil if necessary. Coat the meat with garlic cloves. If desired, cut the garlic into slices and leave them in the meat slots. You can also leave sprigs of rosemary or thyme in the meat and tie it tightly with string so that they do not fall out and the roast is compact.

Step 3: In the oven, preheated to 200⁰C, place the roast and bake on all sides for about 5 minutes to get a crust. Then pour about 2 cm of water into the baking dish and cover it or cover the tray with aluminum foil lightly, reduce it to 180⁰C and bake for about 90 minutes, ensuring no water disappears. Finally, add at least 1 cm of liquid so as not to burn and smoke.

Step 4: After an hour and a half, uncover and continue baking for another 45 minutes, without adding water, to give the meat a crust. In the pan, in the power that the meat has released, add dried apricots in a piece or cut in half.

Step 5: After the meat is cooked, take it out of the oven and let it stand for at least another half an hour so that it cools down gradually and lightly, and all the juices remain in the meat before cutting. When it has rested, cut and remove the string, transfer the meat to a serving plate, and remove the dried apricots. If necessary, cook the urine to the desired density and pour it over each piece of meat. Serve with apricots.
