Baked pork shoulder in the oven in foil

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake pork shoulder in the oven in foil? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients. You need the pork shoulder in a single large boneless piece weighing about 1 kg. Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole. Large cloves can be cut in half lengthwise. You can replace fresh garlic with 1/2 tsp. dry garlic powder.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the meat and dry thoroughly with paper towels. If there is water left on the pork, the vegetable oil will roll off the meat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Brush the pork with vegetable oil and sprinkle with white wine vinegar. Salt and pepper the piece on all sides.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the spatula on a sheet of foil. Sprinkle the meat with Provencal herbs, place garlic cloves and fennel seeds on top. If you wish, you can make punctures all over the surface of the meat with a knife and stuff the pork with garlic cloves, instead of putting garlic on the meat. You will learn a lot of interesting information about aluminum foil by reading the article at the end this recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wrap the spatula in foil, raising the edges up so that the juice does not leak out, and transfer to a baking dish. To be safe, I also covered the pan itself with foil. Pour some water into the bottom of the mold. This is necessary so that the meat retains its juiciness and does not dry out during baking. At the same time, water should not get into the meat itself.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the meat in an oven preheated to 190°C for about 1.5 hours. The exact baking time will depend on the features of your oven. Read more about how ovens work in the separate article at the end of this recipe. Then unfold the foil, return the meat to the oven and bake on convection mode at 180°C until a golden brown crust appears. At the same time, make sure that the garlic cloves do not burn.

7. STEP 7

   

   Leave the finished pork shoulder to rest for 15 minutes so that all the juices are evenly distributed throughout the meat. Then cut into portions and serve. Bon appetit!

Baked pork shoulder in the oven in foil is easy to prepare, but it turns out very tasty: tender and flavorful meat! I made cuts in the meat and inserted slices of garlic into them. I rubbed the meat with salt, spices, poured vegetable oil and white wine vinegar over it. I wrapped the meat in foil, placed it on a baking sheet and put it in the oven to bake at 190° for 1.5 hours. Then I opened the foil and kept it in the oven for another 15 minutes. The meat turned out incredibly tasty. Thanks to Maria for the recipe and I recommend it!

Will water damage the electric oven?
