Roasted stuffed pork with crackling, served with fresh greens for a quick and impressive meal!
Ingredients:
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 82.50 ml unsalted pistachio kernels, chopped
  • 82.50 ml dried cranberries, chopped
  • 312.50 ml fresh breadcrumbs
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 3 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • 42.00 gm fresh orange juice
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2.2kg boned and rolled pork shoulder
  • 2.40 gm sea salt
  • Baby spinach, to serve
  • Sliced avocado, to serve
  • Cucumber ribbons, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat 2 teaspoons oil. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion softens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in pistachios and cranberries; cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in breadcrumbs; stir until lightly toasted, for about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in oregano, orange rind, orange juice, and egg.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line a roasting pan with baking paper. Unwrap the pork shoulder and lay it flat on a cutting board. Spread the stuffing down the center of the pork. Roll up the pork tightly to seal in the delicious filling.
  • Secure the pork by tying it at 4cm intervals with kitchen string. Place the pork in a roasting pan and brush it with the remaining oil. Rub it with salt and season with pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C/160°C fan-forced and continue roasting for 1 hour, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. Allow the pork to cool before serving.
  • Before serving, allow the pork to come to room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, then thinly slice it. Combine the sliced pork with spinach, avocado, and cucumber in a bowl, toss everything together, and serve.
