It is a feast for all meat eaters when a roast pork is served. Cooked for a long time at a low temperature, the roast pork is a tender pleasure for all the senses. Today there is a very special braised piece of meat! We prepare pork neck with a spicy cream cheese and gorgonzola cream and refine it with a juicy pear and a crispy topping of roasted Parmesan. Sounds heavenly doesn’t it?
Servings: 8-10
Preparation time: 30 min
Cooking time: 2 hours
For this you need:
For the roast pork:
- 2 kg pork neck
- 40 ml olives
oil
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 3 cloves of garlic, grated into paste
For the filling:
- 200 g Gorgonzola
- 250 g cream cheese
- 100 g chopped walnuts
- 100 grams of cheddar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 pear, quartered and sliced
For the crispy topping:
- 50 g panko or breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 20 ml of olive oil
- 15 g grated parmesan cheese
That is how it goes:
1. Cut the pork neck with a sharp knife in a cross shape approx. 3 cm deep. Now run olive oil over the meat and massage it with salt, pepper and garlic paste. (You can also use a mortar to make the marinade and then rub it into the meat.) Let the meat marinate for about 2 hours (even better overnight).
2. Quarter a pear and cut out the core at an angle. Then cut the quarters into slices and set the fruit aside for now. Put the cream cheese, gorgonzola, honey, chopped nuts, and grated cheddar in a bowl and mix everything together.
3. Pour the mixture into the cuts of the marinated meat.
4. Then insert the pear slices diagonally into the cuts. Put the meat in a roaster and place it in the preheated oven at 160 ° C for about 105 minutes.
5. Now we come to the crispy topping. Put the breadcrumbs, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, and grated parmesan in a bowl and mix everything together. Put the topping on the roast in the oven after about 3/4 of the cooking time.
A great dish for a family get-together on a Sunday evening. The long cooking time makes the pork neck nice and tender and the cheese cream and pear make the meat really juicy. The icing on the cake is the crispy surface thanks to the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture.
Simply divine!
