Ingredients

2 lb pork neck, trimmed

6 garlic cloves, sliced thinly, divided

1 tbsp dried thyme

2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

2½ oz vegetable oil

cooking spray

1 cup potatoes, like mashed potatoes

1 cup vegetables, like sautéed green beans

1 sprig parsley, to garnish

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine half of the garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and oil. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Make incisions around the pork neck and slide in the remaining garlic.

Rub the pork neck with the prepared mixture. Cover and transfer to a chilled area. Allow to marinate for at least for 1 to 2 hours, best if overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place pork neck onto the baking sheet.

Roast the pork neck for roughly 2½ hours or until very tender.

Once roasted, transfer to cooling racks and cover with foil. Allow to rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.

Carve the pork neck thinly.

Serve together with potatoes and vegetables done to your preference, along with some gravy. Enjoy!
