Cut a part of the garlic into thin pieces for sprinkling (about three cloves), finely chop the rest of the garlic for rubbing the meat on top.

We begin to sprinkle the meat with pieces of garlic and a bay leaf. To do this, make punctures with a knife deeper than the middle of the piece, widen the hole with your finger, deepening it by 3-4 cm, and insert the filling.

Next, rub the meat with chopped garlic on top and generously sprinkle with spices. You need to press the spices with your hand to the meat so that they adhere well. In this way, the meat looks like it is breaded. After that, transfer the workpiece to an open baking dish made of heat-resistant glass.

Prepared meat should stand for at least four hours. To do this, cover the form with cling film and put it in a cold place.

You need to bake the meat on the lower level of the oven at a temperature of 180-200 degrees for 1.5-2 hours (having previously removed the film, of course).
