Ingredients:
- 28 oz pork neck slices,
- ¼ cup olive oil,
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika,
- 1 teaspoon dried garlic,
- 1 tablespoon dried marjoram,
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds,
- pinch of nutmeg,
- 1 teaspoon salt,
- ½ teaspoon pepper.
Other Ingredients:
- 2 white onions,
- 2 red onions,
- 2 garlic cloves,
- ½ cup red wine,
- 3 tablespoons honey,
- 1 tablespoon French mustard.
Preparation Method:
Step 1. Place the pork neck slices in a bowl. Add olive oil along with all the spices. Mix thoroughly, rubbing the aromatic mixture into the meat. Set aside to marinate. You can prepare the meat the day before, but if you forget, don't worry. The pork neck will still be aromatic and perfectly seasoned.
Step 2. Cut the red and white onions into fairly thin slices, and slice the garlic.
Step 3. Brown the pork neck on both sides in a skillet until slightly golden. This will keep it moist and tender after roasting.
Step 4. Add the sliced onions and garlic to the skillet after removing the pork neck. When they soften and begin to brown, add the red wine and simmer briefly. Then, add honey, French mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly.
Step 5. Place some of the onions in the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Add the pieces of meat and cover them with the remaining onions. Cover and place in an oven preheated to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 1.5 hours.
Step 6. Serve the roasted pork neck directly from the ovenproof dish or transfer it to a platter. Enjoy!
