❄️ Christmas Shop Closes Today At Midnight! ❄️
Method
- To kick off, please remove your rump of pork roasting joint out of the packaging, then pat dry and allow your roasting joint to get to room temperature
- Also, please Pre heat your oven to 200 oc temperature fan assisted or 215 oc without a fan
- Season your joint with salt and pepper just prior to starting to roasting
- Use a large, heavy based roasting tray, ideally with deep sides and handles for easy movement
- We recommend that at this stage you also massage a little goose or duck fat or a light olive oil if the joint does not have a generous coating of fat
- Make a trivet by roughly chopping equal amounts of onion, carrot and celery or my preferred choice of celeriac, the root of the celery plus a bay leaf, sprig of thyme and a few black peppercorns, another nice addition can be a bramley apple peeled and quartered to the trivet
- Place the pork skin side up onto the trivet which should line the base of the tray
- Place in centre of oven and roast for 20 minutes then reduce the temperature to 190 oc then continue roasting for 30 minutes per 500g reaching a core temperature of minimum 65 oc
- Remove from oven and pop onto a clean tray and keep warm by covering with a sheet of tin foil then resting for a minimum of 20 minutes before carving, leaving the roasted vegetables in the tray for the gravy
- For the gravy I make up 500 ml of essential cuisine chicken stock, then deglaze roasting tray with this stock stirring all the caramelized juices from the tray, then pass through a fine sieve pushing all the juices from the vegetables into a clean sauce pan, bring to the simmer and thicken if required by whisking in a teaspoon of corn flour mixed with a little cold water and reduce till you reach a rich glossy gravy
