  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pork neck, cut into pieces
  • 2 large potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped scallions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss together the pork, potato, onion, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper until everything is well-coated.
  2. Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long each. Evenly distribute the pork, potato, and onion mixture among the four pieces of foil.
  3. Bring the two opposite sides of the foil together and fold them over, then fold in the two ends to create a sealed packet.
  4. Place the foil packets on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  5. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot.

Notes

When you open these packets, be prepared for a waft of mouthwatering aroma! If you want a bit of a spicy kick, sprinkle some red chili flakes into the mix. Remember, the key to this dish is ensuring even slicing for consistent cooking. Fancy a side? A crisp green salad or some steamed green beans would be a lovely contrast. And always, always enjoy it hot!
