This is a versatile part of the carcass, which can be used to make not only kebabs or baked meat but also a wonderful hot or cold snack. Pork neck baked in foil in the oven will never be dry, neither immediately after cooking nor after cooling, as it is all filled with fat stripes that make the meat juicy.

This dish is prepared without marinating and with minimal use of spices. The indispensable ingredients here are black pepper, garlic, and smoked paprika, which will give the neck a wonderful aroma and some sweetness. A few sprigs of rosemary will also be useful, although they are not necessary at all.

2. Push them into the pork neck by piercing it with a knife and separating the walls of the opening.

3. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper on all sides. Rub these spices with your hand.

4. In the same way, roll the neck in smoked paprika.

5. Transfer the piece of meat onto the foil and add rosemary leaves to the palette of aromas (young sprigs can be placed whole).

6. Wrap the package tightly and place the bundle for convenience in a suitable dish. Leave it in the oven on the middle rack for 1.5 hours.

7. After the specified time, the meat will be ready and will release a lot of juice. It can be drained and used as gravy with various side dishes. You can check if the meat is ready by piercing it with a knife - if white juice flows out, the dish is ready.

Pork neck baked in foil in the oven is served with stewed or fresh vegetables, herbs, and definitely with bread. Moreover, when served hot, it is cut into thicker slices. If the dish is used as a cold snack, the slices are cut into thin pieces.
