  • 3 tablespoons plain flour

Instructions:
  • Uncover the pork and refrigerate overnight to dry the skin. Preheat the oven to 240°C/475°F/gas 9. Score the pork skin. In a mortar, combine bay leaves and sea salt and crush, then add coriander seeds, fennel seeds, and peppercorns and crush until fine.

Prepare vegetables, toss them with rosemary and garlic, season, and mix. Reduce oven temperature to 150°C/300°F/gas 2. Continue to cook pork for 2-4 more hours. Toss vegetables occasionally. Drain fat from onions, add cider to tray and scrape off any bits. Gradually stir in flour and boiling water, simmer for 15 minutes. Serve pork with vegetables and gravy. Add watercress and apple salad and English mustard. Enjoy!
