Ingredients
For the sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking dish with a little oil.
Layer the Ingredients
Arrange a layer of sliced onions on the bottom of the pan. Place the pork neck slices on top of the onions. Season the meat with salt and generously spread the pressed garlic over each slice. Cover the meat with the remaining sliced onions.
Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, soy sauce, spicy ketchup, sweet paprika, and ground black pepper.
Bake
Pour the sauce evenly over the meat and onions in the pan. For an extra juicy result, you can cover the pan with aluminum foil for the initial part of the baking.
Remove The Foil
Roast for 1 to 1.5 hours. For the last 10-15 minutes, you can remove the foil (if using) and increase the temperature slightly to get a nice crispy finish on the meat.
Serve
Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving. It pairs wonderfully with rice or potatoes.
