Milk-braised pork with rosemary
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. It may seem that many ingredients are needed to cook the pork, but each of them is essential and plays an important role in the flavor of the final dish. Rosemary gives the meat a rich taste, while lemon and garlic enhance the flavors of both the meat and the sauce. The dish is finished with a delicate creamy sauce in which the pork is braised. I'd also like to note that serving the dish as a large whole piece, then slicing it into portions at the table in front of guests or family members, looks especially impressive. I'm sure everyone will be delighted with this dish. The dish is now ready to be served.

Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose a piece of pork that is not too lean; it should have a little fat, otherwise the finished dish will turn out dry, even though it will be braised.

Step 2
Without cutting the meat into pieces, season it with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the pork for 10–12 minutes, turning the piece to different sides.
