    Braised pork neck in the oven


    Preheat oven to 220°C.

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using a pastry brush, coat the entire pork neck with the mixture.

    Place the pork on the grill. Roast for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (160°C). Continue roasting for about 4 more hours, until a candy thermometer inserted into the meat reads 185°F (85°C). Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for about 30 minutes until it is cool enough to slice.
