Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes Total: 45 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: - 800g pork neck (choose a piece with a bit of fat for juiciness) - 400g fresh pork sausages (preferably artisanal, with aromatic spices) - 2 tablespoons barbecue seasoning (you can use a mix of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper) - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 kg potatoes (ideally for frying) - 4 garlic cloves (for garlic sauce) - 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying the potatoes) Step by step in preparing the recipe: 1. Preparing the meat: Start by preparing the pork neck. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the slices of neck to make them more tender. This is an essential step as it helps the flavors penetrate and achieve a soft and juicy texture. 2. Seasoning: Sprinkle the barbecue seasoning, salt, and pepper over the neck. Make sure all slices are well covered with spices to maximize flavor. 3. Preparing the sausages: If the sausages are very long, you can cut them in half. This will help them cook evenly and develop a delicious crust all over. 4. Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Once it’s well heated, place the slices of neck and sausages on the grill. Grill the neck for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are browned and well done. Don’t forget to turn the sausages to avoid burning. 5. Transferring to the pot: As the meat browns, remove it from the grill and place it in a covered pot. This step will help keep the meat warm and juicy, preserving its flavors. 6. Preparing the fried potatoes: While the meat rests, peel and cut the potatoes into sticks for frying. In a large skillet, add the oil and heat it over medium heat. Fry the potatoes until they turn golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil and sprinkle salt on top. 7. Preparing the garlic sauce: In a mortar or using a garlic press, crush the 4 garlic cloves. Mix with a bit of salt and optionally add water to create a smoother paste. This combination will perfectly complement the dish, giving it an intense flavor note. Serving: Arrange the neck and sausages on a large platter, alongside the fried potatoes. Don’t forget to add garlic sauce to enhance the taste. A fresh cabbage salad or a tomato and cucumber salad would perfectly complete this dish and bring a contrast of freshness. Tips and tricks: - Choose quality pork, preferably from a trusted butcher. This will make a difference in terms of taste and texture. - If you want to add a bit of smoke to the meat's flavor, use hardwood (like hickory or cherry) on the grill. - Experiment with different types of sausages, such as smoked sausages or those with herbs, to vary the flavors. - If you have time, let the meat marinate in spices a few hours before cooking. This will intensify the flavors and make the meat even more tender. Calories and nutritional benefits: This recipe is rich in protein due to the pork and sausages, while the fried potatoes provide carbohydrates, essential for energy. One serving (about 300g) contains approximately 700-800 calories, depending on the amount of oil used for frying. It’s a hearty meal, perfect for a special occasion or a family weekend. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use chicken instead of pork? Yes, the recipe can be easily adapted. Use chicken breast or thighs, being careful to adjust the cooking time. 2. What type of sausages is best? Fresh sausages with a balanced meat and spice content are the best. Try homemade or artisanal sausages. 3. How can I make this recipe healthier?
