Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 6 pieces of boneless pork neck (approximately 1 kg)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of pickled capers
- 300 ml of semi-dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons of steak spices (sweet paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, iodized salt, dried thyme, curry powder)
- 2 tablespoons of mixed peppercorns (black, green, white, and red)
- 2 pieces of finely chopped bell peppers

Preparation:

Step 1: Preparing the meat
Start by preparing the pork neck. Make sure it’s at room temperature before cooking. This will allow for even cooking. Rub each piece of meat with olive oil, ensuring every corner is covered. This will not only help in browning the meat but will also add a rich flavor.

Step 2: Seasoning the meat
In a small bowl, combine the steak spices. You can add more or less of each spice according to your preferences. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pork neck, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. This mixture will create a delicious, aromatic crust.

Step 3: Searing the meat
Preheat the grill or the Doubleta pan (if you prefer using it) over medium-high heat. Place the pieces of pork neck on the grill and let them brown for about 5-7 minutes on each side. It’s important not to turn them too early to allow a crispy crust to form.

Step 4: Cooking with wine
After the neck has browned nicely on both sides, add the semi-dry white wine, pickled capers, and mixed peppercorns. These ingredients will not only add a delicious flavor but will also help tenderize the meat. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Here you can add the finely chopped bell pepper for extra flavor and color.

Step 5: Serving
After the meat is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute, leaving the meat juicy. Serve the pork neck alongside delicious sides such as mashed potatoes, mushroom sauce, and beet salad. You can also add a slice of fresh bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of wine according to your preferences. Red wine can add a stronger note, while white wine will keep a lighter flavor.
- If you want to reduce cooking time, you can cut the pork neck into smaller pieces.
- A side of grilled vegetables would be perfect to complement the meal.

Nutritional benefits:
Pork neck is an excellent source of protein, essential for muscle development and maintenance. It also contains B vitamins, which are important for energy metabolism. Moderate consumption of pork can be part of a balanced diet.

Possible variations:
- You can replace pork neck with chicken or turkey for a lighter option.
- Add vegetables like carrots or zucchini to the sauce to enhance the dish's nutritional value.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add some chili flakes to the spice mixture.
