Pork under onion and cheese coat

60 minutes

Pork under an onion-cheese crust is a juicy and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that captivates with its simplicity and rich flavor. Its roots go back to the tradition of baking meat under a soft, spice-infused crust, where onion and cheese create a perfect balance of sweet-spicy and rich creamy taste. The spiced pork loin becomes incredibly tender, while the golden crust of mayonnaise, cheese, and caramelized onions adds richness and expressiveness to the dish. This versatile treat is suitable for both festive feasts and cozy family dinners. It is recommended to serve with vegetable side dishes or fresh herbs that will highlight the rich taste and aroma of the baked pork.
