Baked meat in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Roasted meat can be made from a shank (leg portion) or a whole piece of shoulder or neck. A general rule: cook the meat for as many hours as there are half-kilograms in its weight. For example, a two-kilogram piece takes about 4 hours to cook. However, the cooking temperature remains low, between 120 and 140 degrees Celsius, and only at the beginning and end of the process may it be increased slightly to form a crust. I usually prepare this meat in a roasting pan. Good luck! The finished dish is ready to be served.
