Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky
Ingredients
1.5kg
boned and rolled pork shoulder, collar or leg joint
2 tablespoons
oil
1
shallots, peeled and halved
1
garlic bulb, cut in half
2 tablespoons
light brown sugar
300ml
pale or blonde beer
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 150°C, 130°C Fan, Gas Mark 3.
Step 2
Weigh the joint and calculate the cooking time. Dry the rind and score deeply using a sharp knife. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the joint in a shallow roasting tin lined with foil. Add the shallots, garlic, sugar and beer.
Step 3
Scrunch the foil loosely around the joint leaving the rind exposed – this will help to prevent the juices evaporating but allow the rind to ‘crackle’.
Step 4
Roast the joint for the 3-4 hours.
Step 5
Remove the joint from the oven when the cooked juices run clear, then allow it to stand for at least 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
Either reduce the cooking juices slightly to a thin gravy or thicken it with gravy granules.
Step 7
Serve the joint with beer batter Yorkshire puddings and roasted parsnips.
Tips and Serving Suggestions
If preferred, replace the beer with hot vegetable or chicken stock.
