Baked pork in adjika

4 servings

30 minutes

Baked pork in adjika is a dish that embodies the vibrant flavors of Russian cuisine. Its origins lie in the traditions of roasting meat with aromatic spices. Adjika, a spicy sauce with rich notes of spices, makes the pork especially juicy, infusing it with depth of flavor. Garlic and carrots hidden in the meat's cuts create soft spicy nuances and a pleasant texture. Baked in foil, the meat retains its tenderness, while the final reveal gives it an appetizing golden crust. Sides like potatoes and spinach puree harmoniously complement the dish, highlighting its richness. This is the perfect treat for cozy family evenings and celebrations when one wants to enjoy the rich taste and warmth of home cooking.
