Recipe for boiled pork breast

Boiled pork in onion husks is a perfect cold appetizer that can be served on its own or with greens, fresh vegetables, sauces, and bread with mustard. In this case, the onion peel acts as a natural coloring agent that gives the meat a rich appetizing color and a pleasant aroma.
