Description

You can also braise veal shank or neck in milk, as long as the meat has thin layers of fat; otherwise, it will become dry.

Ingredients

Pork Neck - 2 lbs
Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
Ocean salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Garlic - 1 head
Lemon - 1 piece
Rosemary - 3 sprigs
Bay leaf - 5 pieces
Green peppercorns - 10 pieces
Milk - 1½ l

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sear the pork neck on all sides in oil in a skillet. Season with salt and pepper, add a head of garlic (leave the skin on, but cut it in half horizontally), a lemon cut into quarters, sprigs of rosemary, a bay leaf, and black peppercorns. Lightly sauté, then pour in the milk.

Step 2

As soon as the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, allowing the milk to evaporate and the sauce to darken slightly. Turn the meat a few times during the cooking process.

Step 3

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the sauce, slice it, and serve with pearl barley risotto or mashed potatoes, accompanied by a delightful sauce seasoned with a touch of lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
