Slow cooked roast pork, veg and potato soon.
Overnight shoulder of pork with spiced apple relish
Ingredients
For the meat:
3.5-4kg bone-in shoulder of pork, skin scored
Sea salt
For the spiced apple sauce:
6 bramley apples
50ml cider vinegar
50g caster sugar
1 nutmeg
2 cinnamon sticks broken
1 red chilli chopped
Method
Preheat oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7
Boil a kettle and place pork on a wire rack in the sink, skin side up
Pour boiling water over skin and drain
This puffs up skin so it's ready to crackle
Wipe the skin dry with kitchen paper
Salt with coarse sea salt
Roast for 20mins, cover with foil and reduce heat to 120C/250F/Gas 0.5
Roast for 11 hours
Remove the foil, return heat to 220C/425F/Gas 7 and roast for 10-15 mins
You should have perfect crackling
Rest for 15 mins
The pork should be so tender that you could serve it with a spoon
Meanwhile peel and core the apples and boil with 50ml water, vinegar, sugar and spices until the apples are mushy. Serve with the spices still in.
There should be plenty pork fat left from the roast for your spuds!
