General principles of cooking pork with tomatoes in the oven
For cooking delicious pork in the oven, it is better to take soft meat, not bad if it is a little fatty. What could it be? Of course, the neck, carbonate, tenderloin, maybe, and ham or scapula. If the meat is even a little dry, the tomatoes will compensate for this drawback and the pork with tomatoes in the oven will turn out juicy and soft.
Tomatoes better to take too good, soft and fleshy. But if it didn’t work out (everyone who does not live in the South knows how difficult it is to buy good tomatoes in winter and spring), it’s okay, surely it will turn out well. Pre-tomatoes should be washed with boiling water, then with ice water and remove the skin from them.
Cream for sauce it is better to take traditionally used for this purpose - twenty percent. In this case, for pork with tomatoes in the oven, it is better to prefer a more lean piece of meat, so as not to seem fatty.
Cheese is suitable for everyone, as long as it is pleasant to the taste. For example, Gouda is good, you can take Edam, Dutch, even Kostroma or Russian fit. For especially exquisite recipes, you should prefer Mozzarella (it gives a pleasant crust) or Parmesan (sharp and very “Italian”), someone likes the sweetish taste of Maasdam on pork. Anyway, it is better not to “save” the dried cheese in such a way: it may not melt, but dry up even more, which will spoil the taste of the dish. But if you need to rub the cheese into the sauce, then you can risk using it to cook pork with tomatoes in the oven.
Pork before cooking is better to marinate, especially if you want to bake the whole meat or large pieces. Keep in the marinade must be at least an hour, preferably 2-3 hours, and even better - marinate overnight. Marinade, if not specified in the recipe, you can choose to your taste.
