Aromatic pork in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The meat can be marinated for up to three days, but you need to turn the piece occasionally. The meat turns out juicy, with a bright natural flavor and a pleasant aroma of spices. You can serve it with any side dish of your choice. We went with onions, hot peppers, and ripe tomatoes. The dish is ready to be served.

Step 1
Rinse the pork with icy water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with a mixture of salt and sugar, rub the spices into the meat on both sides. Then coarsely crush the peppers and cloves, mix with ground herbs and spices. Rub the meat on both sides with the spice mixture, drizzle with olive oil. Place the meat in a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, make 3-4 punctures, and refrigerate to marinate.

Step 2
Marinate the meat for 3 hours to 3 days. If marinating for a long time, turn the meat over periodically. Remove the meat from the refrigerator an hour before cooking and let it come to room temperature. The photo shows meat marinated for two days.

Step 3
Place the meat covered with foil into a cold oven and turn on the heat to 200 degrees. After half an hour, reduce the temperature to 140 degrees, turn the meat over, and continue roasting for another hour. During this time, flip the meat a couple more times. Then remove the foil, increase the heat, and turn on the grill function if available. Brown the meat on top for 5-7 minutes. Check the doneness by piercing it with a thin knife—the juices should be completely clear for pork! Remove the meat from the oven, cover it with foil again, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Then transfer it to a serving dish and serve.
