Ingredients

• 2 lb pork neck
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 fresh rosemary sprigs
• 3 fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 tsp ground paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup white wine
• 1 cup chicken stock

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork neck dry with a paper towel and set it aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a seasoning paste.

Step 4

Rub the seasoning paste all over the pork neck, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 5

Peel and crush the garlic cloves and place them in the bottom of a roasting pan or baking dish.

Step 6

Scatter the rosemary and thyme sprigs over the garlic in the pan.

Step 7

Place the seasoned pork neck on top of the garlic and herbs in the roasting pan.

Step 8

Pour the white wine and chicken stock into the roasting pan, making sure the liquids do not cover the pork.

Step 9

Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid to trap moisture and flavor.

Step 10

Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 3 hours, basting the pork with the pan juices every hour.

Step 11

After 3 hours, remove the foil or lid and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Continue roasting for an additional 40-60 minutes, basting occasionally, until the pork neck is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches at least 185°F (85°C) for a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Step 13

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing or shredding.

Step 14

Serve with the pan juices spooned over the top, and enjoy!
