Roast Pork and Crackling
Posted By Stephen
For our last day before some healthy eating begins, we decided on roast pork. Kerri poured boiling water over the skin before roasting it and then rubbed it liberally with salt, resulting in sublimely crisp crackling that didn’t even need to go back into the oven after the pork was done.
The meat itself was tasty and succulent. We took it out of the oven shortly before our meat thermometer got to the pork setting, because we wanted to make sure it didn’t dry out. It worked well; it was cooked all the way through but not at all dry. We roasted potatoes in a mixture of goose fat and vegetable oil, which we have tried before with varying levels of success, but this time they worked really well. We also had gravy, stuffing (a simple but very tasty one with breadcrumbs, onion, sage and seasoning), brussels sprouts and kale.
All in all, a very successful dinner!

That is some fine crackling you have there! What a great ‘last supper’ before the healthy eating begins!

Hi Kerri – just wanted to tell you that I cooked your ‘Crispy Pork Chops’ tonight, and they were DELICIOUS! That’s one I’ll certainly been doing again soon! Thanks for the inspiration – Caroline x

Thanks Helen 🙂 The crackling was thin (after scraping off some of the fat) and very crispy and crunchy all the way round which was good – usually we have some bits that are chewy rather than crunchy.
Wow that crackling looks amazing!

I just saw this pop up on my tastespotting widget. I am drooling here over all that crackly skin!
Roast pork is one of my favourite meats, I think the crackling is a big part of the reason why. It’s so good to have something to nibble on while you’re waiting for the meat to rest!
That is a thing of beauty!
