Boiled pork is most often prepared in a standard way – it is baked in the oven. But our boiled pork will be boiled in ordinary water. Of the spices for making boiled pork pork, we only need salt and pepper, as well as garlic. Despite its simplicity, it will turn out to be an excellent meat dish for a festive table.
Wash the pork thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, make many thin holes in the meat in a circular motion. Insert peeled garlic cloves into each hole, cutting larger cloves into pieces if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the salt and ground black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly all over the pork.
Place the pork in a thin plastic bag, press it tightly against the meat, release all the air, and tie securely. Repeat with a second bag, then a third bag.
Bring roughly 0.8-1 liter of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Carefully place the triple-bagged pork in the boiling water and cook over medium heat for 1 hour 30 minutes.
During cooking, turn and twist the bag 2-3 times to ensure even cooking on all sides. Add more boiling water as needed to keep the pork covered. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F).
Remove the cooked pork from the bags and let it cool completely. Cut into portions and serve.
