How to make Roast Pork and Crispy Crackling Recipe - Check out the piece of crackling missing! On the day of the photo shoot, my beautiful sister-in-law, Nelly, who was heavily pregnant, thought the shot had already been taken.
SERVES 8
Ingredients:
One 6-pound pork shoulder, rind on
3 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Method:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the pork in a roasting pan, rind side up. Using a sharp knife, score the rind at 1/2-inch intervals, cutting deeply almost into the fat layer.
Rub 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into the rind and drizzle with the lemon juice. Generously sprinkle 2 tablespoons sea salt flakes over the rind and press into the scores.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan and roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and cook for another 2 hours (or about 30 minutes per pound).
Optional:
For great crackling, look for a good coverage of fat and rind. You might have to special-order from your butcher to get the rind.
