Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the oven
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. This temperature will allow the meat to cook evenly, retaining its juiciness and flavors.
Step 2: Preparing the meat
Cut the por pork into bite-sized pieces (about 5cm). This will allow even cooking and better absorption of the spices.
Step 3: Marinating the meat
Place the meat pieces in the magic bag with the spices in the packet. Shake the bag carefully to ensure that each piece is well coated with the spices. This step is essential to intensify the flavors.
Step 4: Preparing the sausage
Cut the sausages into rounds and lightly fry them in a frying pan, just to intensify their flavors, without cooking them all the way through. It is important not to brown them too much as they will continue to cook in the oven.
Step 5: Combining the ingredients
Add the fried sausage rounds and the 3 sliced garlic cloves to the bag with the pork. Shake the bag again to combine the ingredients. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 6: Making the sauce
Open the bag and add the glass of red wine and a tablespoon of olive oil. Close the bag again and stir gently to combine the ingredients. Then open the bag and let it brown in the oven for about 1 hour.
Step 7: Prepare the potato garnish
While the roast is baking, prepare the potato garnish. Cut the potatoes into thin, leaf-shaped slices. In a separate tray, arrange the potato slices, drizzling with broth and olive oil. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for a delicious crust.
Step 8: Baking the potatoes
Carefully pour a little of the broth between the potato slices. This will add moisture and help the potatoes cook evenly. Put the tray in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the potatoes are browned and crispy.
Step 9: Serving
Once the roast and toppings are ready, remove them from the oven. On a large pl platter, place the pork roast in the center and place the browned potato leaves around it. This not only looks impressive, but adds a contrast of textures and flavors.
