Roast Pork with Crispy Crackling Recipe

Methods

1. To make this Roast Pork with Crispy Crackling Recipe:
• Usually your butcher would of tied a leg joint for you, if not simply tie it round a few times so it holds a nice shape.
• Rub the pork meat only with the mustard and black pepper, don,t get anything on the rind - as moisture and marinade will stop it from going crispy
• In an oven tray add the chopped up vegetables, herbs and add the wine
• Place the joint on top and rub the fat with the salt
• Place in a preheated oven gas 9 / 240*c / 475*f for 20 minutes
• Turn the oven down gas 5 / 190*c / 350*f until cooked
• If your not quite sure test by inserting a skewer in to the middle then touch the back of your hand with it - if its hot its cooked. Plus the juices should come out clear
• Cooking Times for Pork = 30 minutes a lb. / 450g and 30 minutes over plus rest covered with foil for 20 - 30 minutes to rest
• Smaller joints of Loin and Rib can be cooked on a wire rack over potatoes, just toss in oil and seasoning - again just rub the fat with salt for a crispy crackling
