Pork belly roll baked in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake a pork belly roll in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. Choose a brisket where there is a uniform layer of both meat and fat. The presence of fat gives the finished roll juiciness. You can carefully cut off the skin or cook the roll together with it. There is no fundamental difference here.

2. Step 2:

   

   If a piece of brisket is thick, then cut it along the whole piece without cutting it to the end and open it like a book.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sprinkle the brisket liberally with salt and ground pepper. You can take any spices to your taste.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the garlic and spread it over the entire surface of the brisket. I have very large cloves of garlic, so I cut each one into 2-3 pieces.

5. Step 5:

   

   Twist the brisket into a tight roll and wrap tightly with cotton threads.

7. Step 6:

   

   Sprinkle the roll liberally with ground paprika on the outside and rub it a little with your hands.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then wrap the roll in 2-3 layers of foil so that the juice cannot leak out when baking. For baking, take a metal mold. Put the roll in it and put it in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees for 1.5 hours. I do not recommend using a ceramic mold for this recipe. At high temperature, it can crack.

9. Step 8:

   

   After the specified time, remove the roll from the oven and open the foil. Cool, and then put the roll in the refrigerator so that it freezes. After the refrigerator, it will be very easy to cut into slices.

10. Step 9:

    

    Cut the threads from the frozen roll and cut it into round pieces. Place the sliced meat on a platter and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
