In purchased semi-finished products, the percentage of pure raw materials is negligible, the rest of the composition is ground cartilage, skin, tendons, plus half the periodic table - “for taste”. And in some specimens there is no meat at all. Boiled pork is a healthy substitute for a “tricky” modern sausage for breakfast, and a hearty lunch, snack or dinner, and it’s also suitable for the festive table.
The choice of the main ingredient
Not every piece of good meat can be turned into a culinary masterpiece called boiled pork. A mistake at any stage of cooking can ruin everything, and instead of a fragrant delicate dish, you get a piece of rubber seasoned with spices.
Choose in moderation a fatty piece weighing about 1-2.5 kg, the optimal thickness of the fat is 1.5 cm. It is good if there are thin fatty layers inside the piece, such meat will remain juicy after baking. Lean slices of pork, beef and poultry need to be additionally stuffed with slices of bacon.
Marinating features
The meat is pickled in your favorite spices to make it tender and aromatic. At this stage, half the success of the entire event lies. And there are two ways.
- Rubbing. For pork, garlic, various peppers, bay leaves, ginger, rosemary, cardamom are suitable. Spices can simply be mixed with salt and grate meat, or you can coat the fillet with a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, olive oil, soy sauce or mustard. Next, the meat is sent to marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
- Soaking. First you need to make a brine of water, salt, sugar, spices, olive oil, mustard, sour cream, soy sauce or other favorite additives. Soak the meat in brine for several hours, preferably left in the refrigerator overnight.

Reviews: "Bake in a cast-iron duck bowl"
I make boiled pork for all the holidays, but I certainly prefer pork, and so that the piece is with skin, then neither dough nor foil will be needed. And I bake it in a cast-iron duck bowl, until ready, when the juice becomes transparent, remove the lid so that the boiled pork is reddened on top. Then I take it out of the oven, cover it and leave to cool.

I take a pork tenderloin, stuff it with long slices of frozen salted fat (1 × 1x8-10 cm), carrots (chopped into strips) and garlic, then brush with a mixture of seasonings (caraway seeds, coriander, dill seed, mustard seed, different pepper, marjoram, nutmeg walnut, etc.) with salt and squeezed garlic (5-6 cloves)
I put in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. I wrap it in several layers of foil and bake in the oven for 1.5 hours at 200 degrees. I open the foil and bake until golden brown. Everything!!! Awesome taste, delicate and beautiful inside.Emmanuel (Marik) Sauchik (Sauchik), http://ovkuse.ru/recipes/buzhenina/
Not every piece of meat baked in the oven can be called boiled pork. The boiled pork should have a layer of shpig 0.5-1cm., When cooking, the shpig melts and soaks the meat, as a result of which the meat acquires a delicate taste

Girls, and you can still not just stuff the garlic, but squeeze the garlic into the cream (or milk), mix well and squeeze the liquid from the thick .. take a syringe and use it to pour liquid (cream with garlic) into the meat, as many punctures as possible ... and thicker to spread the meat on top ... it will be very juicy and the meat will be saturated with garlic spirit both inside and out!
