Pork neck baked in foil in the oven
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.
