How to cook Homemade boiled pork

Step 1

Lard the meat. Use a sharp knife to make cuts in the pork and place garlic in the holes.

Step 2

Marinate the pork. Place the pork on foil, add salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle the meat with paprika and coriander on both sides. Carefully wrap the meat in foil to form a tight envelope. Put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours to marinate.

Step 3

Bake the meat. After the meat is marinated, place the pork, without removing it from the foil, in a heat-resistant form and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 2 hours.

Homemade boiled pork - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute pork with another meat for this recipe?

Yes! Beef chuck or chicken thighs work well as substitutes. Adjust cooking time slightly—beef may need longer, while chicken cooks faster.

How long can I store the cooked pork in the fridge?

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to preserve tenderness.

Is there a vegetarian version of this dish?

Try using thick-cut portobello mushrooms or firm tofu. Marinate similarly but reduce baking time to 30–40 minutes for mushrooms or 20 minutes for tofu.

What’s the best way to serve boiled pork?

Slice thinly and serve with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or in sandwiches. A tangy mustard or apple sauce pairs perfectly.

Can I freeze the cooked pork?

Absolutely! Wrap tightly in foil or freezer bags for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Can I skip the marinating time?

Marinating enhances flavor, but if short on time, season generously and let it rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before baking.

How do I adjust portions for a smaller cut of meat?

Reduce salt/spices proportionally and bake for 1–1.5 hours. Check doneness with a meat thermometer (145°F internal temp for pork).

What if I don’t have foil for baking?

Use parchment paper or a covered Dutch oven. Ensure the lid seals tightly to trap moisture.
