Pork neck- This is a very tender pork meat from the neck of an animal with streaks of bacon. In shape, a piece of pork neck resembles a thick loaf of sausage no more than 30 cm long.This is a harmonious combination tender meat without pumped up muscles and veins with fat. When choosing a pork neck, you just need to pay attention to the color of this fat, it should be white or white-pink (by no means yellow!). Choosing the right pork neck will provide you with a very tender and juicy dish from pork meat that melts in your mouth.

The choice of a piece of pork neck is done, let's proceed to its marinade.
You can marinate pork neck, as well as pork kebab, different ways... This will add extra juiciness and flavor to the meat.

Marinade for pork meat (pork neck):

  1. The easiest way to marinate a pork neck and giving the meat an aroma of spices and herbs: a piece of pork neck (pulp) weighing 800-1300 g is rubbed with a mixture of salt, crushed garlic, peppers and dry herbs (basil, thyme, rosemary, thyme, oregano are suitable for pork - choose according to your taste!) ... Put to marinate in the refrigerator for several hours.

2. Onion Marinade: coarsely chopped onion pounded with salt (this is how onion juice stands out better) and pork, grated with spices and herbs with garlic, covered with onions and put to marinate in the cold for several hours, you can overnight.

3. Marinating meat with tomatoes, onions and lemon juice : v onion marinade, juice of half a lemon, 2-3 tomatoes, cut into thin slices, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil are added. Marinated for several hours in a cool place. I used this marinade in cooking

4. Marinating meat in wine : Add 1 glass of any wine to any of the above pork marinades. Marinate the pork neck for at least 2 hours, you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight.

5. Marinating meat in mineral water : Salt the pork neck well, grate with garlic, spices and herbs. Mix 1 bottle of sparkling water like Arkhyz or Bon Aqua with the juice of one lemon and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Pour the soda water marinade over the pork neck and let stand in the refrigerator for several hours.

6. Pork marinade from beer. Rub the pork neck with salt, spices, garlic. Pour in one bottle (0.5 l) of beer. Marinate for 2 hours.

7. Pork Marinade - Soy Sauce ... Pour the pork neck grated with garlic and spices (without salt) soy sauce for 1.5-2 hours.

8. Pork neck in mustard sauce ... Pork mustard marinade: mix 3 tablespoons of sour cream (who likes mayonnaise) with 2 tablespoons of mustard and 2-3 chopped garlic cloves. The neck is coated mustard marinade(if sour cream is used, it is pre-rubbed with salt) and placed in a cold place for 2 hours, or better overnight.

9. Just like kebab, pork neck can be marinated in kefir-onion marinade, and even with kiwi ... To do this, mix 0.5 l of kefir with 7 chopped onions (grind the onion with salt so that juice appears) and 3-4 kiwi puree. Rub the pork neck with salt, spices and add kefir marinade. Marinate for several hours at room temperature, as it needs warm to marinate meat with kefir. If we leave the pork to marinate overnight, then put it in the refrigerator.

The meat was marinated (or simply salted, pepper), now it remains to choose how and how to cook the pork neck.

Yes, I would like to note that a piece of pork neck before pickling, you can stuff or stuff. To stuff the pork neck, we make deep cuts with a knife and stuff the pork with long carrot sticks, cloves of garlic or prunes. To prepare the stuffed pork neck, we make cuts across the piece, not cutting to the very end. It turns out such a book with pages. The thickness of the neck pieces is about 1.5 cm.In these pages we insert minced meat (filling) from chopped dried apricots, prunes, walnuts and greenery. To be honest, the filling can be anything, it all depends on your imagination. You can, for example, chop the herbs and mix them with grated cheese. And you can between meat sheets just lay out slices of cheese or vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes). Before stuffing or stuffing the pork neck, a whole piece of pork (or each cut piece) is rubbed with salt and spices. If a thick marinade such as mustard is used, the marinade can be brushed over the pieces. After stuffing, coat the whole piece of pork neck with marinade (sauce). Fasten the cut pieces with wooden skewers or toothpicks so that the piece looks whole and does not fall apart.

Pork neck recipes:

Pork neck baked in the oven with a whole piece cooked in a preheated oven at 180 g for about 1 hour (plus or minus 20 minutes, depending on the weight of the pork neck piece). It is more convenient to bake the neck in a deep baking sheet or baking dish, laying out a piece of pork with a marinade sauce. If the marinade has not been used, then simply pour the broth, or water and wine into the mold in which you are preparing the dish. The readiness of the baked meat is determined by the color of the juice released when the piece is pierced with a knife. The meat juice should be clear, without blood. While cooking the pork neck in the oven, it needs to be watered several times with the released juice.

Pork neck in a roasting sleeve baked at 180 degrees. The cooking time is the same as for the previous method. This option for baking meat is convenient because the fat is not splashed during baking, and the meat is cooked in a peculiar microclimate, while maintaining its juiciness. A piece of pork neck is placed in a sleeve (with marinade if desired) and tied on both sides. A nice soft crust forms at the end of cooking. If you want to achieve a darker crust of the baked meat, then at the end of cooking, cut the sleeve on top and keep your piece of pork in the oven for another 10-15 minutes.

Pork neck baked in foil - another way to cook a juicy pig. A piece of pork neck with sauce or marinade vegetables is placed on a sheet of foil, wrapped and baked in a well-heated oven. The baking temperature is 180 degrees, the time is the same as when cooking the neck in the oven. To receive golden brown at the end of cooking, the foil unfolds, and the dish is cooked for another 10-15 minutes.

Steamed neck recipe. The neck can be steamed in two ways: cook it in one piece directly in a steamer, mantover or multicooker, or wrap the neck in foil and steam it in it. The time for steaming the pork neck is 40-60 minutes, depending on the size of the piece.

Pork neck baked in a slow cooker. The recipe for making a shake in a slow cooker is similar to described by me earlier. the "baking" mode is switched on for 60 minutes, the pork neck is laid. You can add half a glass of water or the marinade in which the neck was marinated. Prepared with the lid closed. After 30 minutes, turn a piece of pork neck over to the other side and cook further. At this point, you can put chopped mushrooms in the free space and add cream.

Pork from the neck in a slow cooker can be prepared in another way, for example, as in this video recipe for the Brand multicooker:

for the Panasonic multicooker and other models without the "frying meat" function, fry a piece of meat with the addition of oil in the "baking" mode for about 10 minutes and switch to "stewing" for 2 hours.

Pork neck baked in a slow cooker with sauerkraut.

What is a multicooker and what features it has you can read.

The neck is prepared in the "baking" mode for 60 minutes, like the previous recipe. After 30 minutes from the beginning of the cycle, a piece of the neck is turned over, 500 g is added sauerkraut in the free places of the multicooker bowl and 1 tablespoon of melted or butter... The lid closes and the dish continues to cook until the beep. If, after the signal, the cabbage seems to you harsh or you want more delicate taste, put the multicooker on the stewing mode. This recipe is similar to Hungarian pork neck, the difference is that it is cooked in one piece.

And here is the promised video recipe for pork neck roll.

The secret of the tenderness of a pork neck is thin streaks of fat white(if the shade is yellow, this means that the meat is old), which are inseparable from the structure of the meat. This is great when it comes to frying a kebab, but if you want to bake the neck in one piece, then a little complications may await you here. The fat does not absorb water - that is, the marinade - and therefore big piece salted badly. To solve the problem, you will need a syringe with a needle, as well as salted water. Put it in a syringe and pierce the meat in 3-4 places - so it will be salted evenly.

If we are talking about boiling, then the neck is one of the easiest types of meat to cook. Wonderful option- boil it (1.5-2 hours) with the addition of wine: alcohol easily penetrates the structure of pork and softens it. During the cooking process, the fat becomes transparent and gives the meat a special tenderness: such pork can be used as an excellent snack, cutting it into slices cold. In addition, after boiled pork, you get rich broth that can be used for soup.

When cooking, spices must be handled carefully - first of all, this concerns salt. It "draws" all the internal moisture of the meat into the broth, and we risk getting dry pork: seemingly boiled, but harsh and not juicy. To prevent this from happening, you need to salt the boiled neck no earlier than 10 minutes before the end of cooking.

Thus, the two main conditions delicious cooking pork neck - this is the correct use of spices and prolonged exposure to a not too high temperature, at which the fat does not leave the meat at an accelerated pace. We will apply both principles right now: we will bake the pork neck correctly - so that it remains not only juicy, but also acquires a spicy garlic aroma.

Baked pork neck

  • piece of pork neck -1 kg
  • garlic - 4 cloves
  • bay leaf - 3 pcs.
  • coriander seeds - 1.5 tsp
  • allspice - 5 peas
  • black peppercorns - 1 tsp
  • Olive oil
  • large sea ​​salt- 1 tsp
  • water - 100 ml

We don't need excess fat: we cut off the fat, leaving a thin layer. Using a syringe, evenly "salt" a piece of meat in 3-4 places with salted water. Peel the garlic, cut into bars; with a knife we ​​make 8-10 punctures in different places, after which we insert garlic into them.

Pour the rest of the spices into a mortar, where we grind thoroughly. Pour 2 tablespoons into the resulting mixture olive oil- you get a thick spicy mass, we coat the neck with it. Meat stuffed with garlic, salted from the inside and grated with spices on the outside should be wrapped in cling film and sent to the refrigerator - for 10-12 hours.

An hour or two before cooking, we get the meat out of the cold - let it turn on the temperature. Preheat the oven to 230 degrees, heat it, reduce it to 160 and put the meat in the oven for 45-50 minutes. The readiness of the neck can be easily checked with a knife - as soon as you are sure of it, take the meat out of the oven and place it on the table. It remains to cut into thin slices and serve with tender sour cream or, on the contrary, hot sauce B-B-Q.
