Ingredients:
  • 2kg boned and rolled shoulder of pork
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 4.80 gm sea salt
  • 1 tsp dried fennel seeds
  • 20g butter
  • 2 large garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, sliced
  • 3 granny smith apples, cored, sliced
  • 355ml bottle dry apple cider
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C fanforced. Score the pork skin at 2cm intervals using a sharp knife, then massage with 1 tablespoon of oil, salt, and fennel seeds.
  • In a hot flameproof baking dish, add the pork and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and sauté the butter, garlic, and fennel in the dish until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Pour in the apple and cider and bring it to a boil. Scrape the base of the dish with a wooden spoon for 1 minute. Add the pork, cover, and transfer the dish to the oven.
  • Roast the pork for 2 hours or until fully cooked and juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving with the fennel mixture.
