Garlic-Studded Roast Pork

Aromatic pork studded with garlic and spices, roasted in the oven! I often make this for a holiday table. The recipe is easy — no more than 15 minutes of prep — but it needs at least 2 hours of roasting. You can also make it on the stovetop in a heavy, tightly covered Dutch oven; just add a bit more water, keep the heat as low as possible, and don't lift the lid for the full 2 hours of cooking.

  • Use pork for roasting, but not too fatty — the leg (ham) is best for this. To stud the meat, cut the garlic cloves in half lengthwise so they're easier to push into the slits. Rinse the pork under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel. With the tip of a knife, cut deep slits into the meat and immediately tuck a piece of garlic into each one, pressing it in so it holds firmly and won't fall out — the garlic should disappear into the meat. Next, rub the garlic-studded pork generously all over with the spices and salt, then coat it with mayonnaise. Set the prepared meat in a deep baking dish, pour about 1/3 cup of water into the bottom, and cover the dish snugly with a lid or foil, leaving no gap. Put the meat into an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for the first 90 minutes. After 90 minutes, remove the foil or lid and continue roasting uncovered for another 30 minutes. Take the finished roast out of the oven and let it rest and cool a little in the dish, then transfer it to a platter. You can slice the meat while hot — it's very fragrant and delicious — but it slices even more neatly after chilling in the refrigerator. Arrange the slices attractively on a plate to serve.
