Pork accordion in the oven in foil with tomatoes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a pork accordion? First, prepare the marinade. Dry garlic can be replaced with 2 cloves of fresh garlic passed through a press. In addition to these ingredients, you can add 1-2 more tablespoons of tomato paste or ketchup.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, dry garlic, mustard and spices. Mix everything until smooth. If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, ground pepper is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk peppering the dish. Salt also does not need to be added - soy sauce replaces it.

3. Step 3:

   

   Now prepare the rest of the ingredients. Take ripe tomatoes, but strong, so that they do not spread when slicing and baking. You can take any cheese to taste: it can be a regular Russian type cheese, mozzarella for pizza is also suitable.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash a piece of pork, dry it with paper towels. If you want fatter and more juicy meat, take the neck, if with a moderate amount of fat, carbonade will do.

   Make deep transverse incisions every 1 cm, not reaching the bottom of 1 cm.

   Lubricate the pork outside and inside the cuts with the marinade prepared earlier. If you have a lot of marinade, it is better to put the meat in a deep bowl and pour this marinade. Leave the meat to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. If there is no time, then it is sufficient to leave the meat for 1-1.5 hours at room temperature.
