Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 248°F. Rub the meat with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds, and 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and place the meat in it. Sear until golden brown on all sides for about 12 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and let cool for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Mix the remaining salt, pepper, spices, and juniper berries in the skillet. Stir and add water. Divide the mixture into 3 parts and transfer one part to a plate. Spread the remaining mixture to the size of the piece of meat and place the pork on top. Distribute the remaining mixture around the sides.

Step 3

Bake the meat until cooked through for about 2.5 hours.

Step 4

Place the skillet with the meat on the countertop and let the meat rest for 10-20 minutes. Remove the salt from around the meat. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and remove any remaining salt. Place on a serving dish and slice.
