Steps
Steps
- 1Make 12 deep cuts all over the pork with a thin knife and push a sliver of garlic into each.
- 2Mix the oil, paprika, savory, pepper and salt and rub it all over the meat. Cover and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- 3Take the meat out of the fridge 30 minutes before roasting and heat the oven to 180°C.
- 4Lay the onions and bay leaves in a roasting dish just large enough for the pork, set the meat on top, fat side up, and pour the wine around it.
- 5Cover tightly with a lid or foil and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes — covered, the neck braises in its own juices and the connective tissue softens.
- 6Uncover, raise the heat to 200°C and roast for 30–40 minutes more, basting with the juices every 10 minutes, until the surface is deep brown and caramelised.
- 7Rest for 15 minutes before slicing across the grain into 1 cm slices.
- 8Strain the juices from the dish, skim off the excess fat and pour them over the sliced meat, with the soft onions alongside.
