Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 210°C.

  2. Bring pork to room temperature.

  3. If the rind hasn’t been scored, score it

  4. with a sharp knife. My butcher always

  5. does this for me, which is the easiest

  6. way to do it.

  7. Place the meat into a large baking

  8. dish and pat dry with a paper towel.

  9. Removing all moisture will help the

  10. skin crackle.

  11. Cover the rind with a good layer of

  12. salt.

  13. Rub the coconut oil into the rind (with the salt

  14. Ensure the oven has reached 210°C, and place the roast in the oven.

  15. After 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 170°C.

  16. Cook until crackling is golden brown, and the meat is cooked,

  17. but still slightly pink in the middle (approximately 2 hours).
