What's for Sunday Dinner?

[Kiddleywinks]

We've just had a big fat cooked breakfast whilst we wait for our 24 hour slow roast pork to cook - should be ready about half 4.

The garlic, chilli, ginger and pork smell is mouthwatering (drool)

What's everyone else having today?

[BucksCM]

Oooohh...that sounds lush!!
Haven't even had breakfast here yet, so I have no idea yet!!

[rickysmiths]

We are having Roast Pork but Im' just waiting for it to finish de frosting. I was so tired after work yesterday I forgot to take it out last night.

So Roast Pork I put ginger and salt on the skin to make it crackle, Apple Sauce, Roast Potatoes, Veg followed by baked peaches and nectarines with ice cream.

[Lems]

[singingcactus]

Got nothing out of the freezer, so who knows? Will be whatever my freezer holds that is cook from frozen. Oh, I think there might be some pork faggots in there, so faggots, mash and veg it is

[Roseolivia]

For lunch we all had different things, very unorganised. Alfie had sandwiches, Rose and dp had ribs and pasta and i had pasta.

I haven't had a roast for ages so sent DH to Sainsburys and they have legs of lambs on offer for £12.00

sounds lovely - how do you do it?

not sure for us today, had a roast in the week so something else today - curry or lasagne probably

[Kiddleywinks]

Mix together 6 crushed cloves of garlic, 2-3 cm shredded ginger, 1-2 fresh chopped chillies, 5 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar.
Rub half the mix into the pork rind by hand

Turn oven onto the highest heat
When it's got to the hottest temperature, put the joint in, skin side up, for 30 minutes
Take joint out and turn temperature down to about 100 degrees, or gas mark 1
Turn joint over, so it's skin side down, spread the other half of marinade over the joint and put back in the oven for:
12 - 15kg = 24 hrs
9 - 12 kg = 20 hrs
6 - 9 kg = 15 hrs
3 - 6kg = 9 hrs

First thing, don't panic! Part way through the cooking you start thinking it's burnt, trust me it isn't lol
There's no need to mess with it, but if you want to you can baste it every few hours. The problem with doing that is that you lose the heat so it's best not to to be honest.

For the last 30 minutes of cooking, take the joint out of the oven, turn the heat up to maximum again
Turn the joint over, skin side up again, and put it back in for the last 30 minutes
Be very careful when you turn it over, it's already so tender that bits will fall off lol

You won't get any unburnt crackling doing it this way, but the meat is just mwah, so it's worth sacrificing the crackling

Enjoy xx

[Kiddleywinks]

Oh, and the beauty of it is, if you're running late, you can leave it longer on the low heat if needed

[The Juggler]

oooh loving the sound of the pork!

we are having chili chicken with rice and crusty bread tonight
