Roast pork with crispy crackling served with stuffing cups.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5kg brushed potatoes, peeled, chopped
  • 9.60 gm sea salt flakes
  • 40.00 ml thyme leaves
  • 2 kg pork leg boneless roast
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 2 x 165g pkts traditional liquid gravy
  • Steamed green beans, to serve
  • 70g butter, chopped
  • 1/2 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pear, peeled, finely chopped
  • 210g breadcrumbs
  • 40.00 ml macadamias, finely chopped
  • 45g dried cranberry
  • 40.00 ml flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 free range egg, lightly whisked
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 230C. Boil potatoes in salted water for 12 minutes until tender. Drain, return to the pan, and shake to roughen edges.
  • In a small bowl, mix salt and 1 tablespoon of thyme. Drizzle pork with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle salt mixture over the pork, massaging it into the cuts. Transfer pork to a baking tray and roast in the oven for 30 minutes until the rind crackles.
  • Coat the potatoes in the leftover oil and thyme, then place them around the pork. Lower the oven temperature to 180C and roast for an additional 1 hour and 40 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked. Let the pork rest, covered, for 30 minutes before serving.
  • While the pork roasts, prepare the pear and cranberry stuffing cups. In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt 20g of butter. Sauté the onion for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and pear, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the remaining butter and cook until melted. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, macadamias, cranberries, and parsley. Mix in the onion mixture and let it cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the egg. Divide the mixture into eight lightly greased 1/3 cup (80ml) muffin pans, pressing firmly. Bake until golden, for about 15 minutes.
  • Warm up the gravy according to the packet instructions. Slice the pork and serve alongside stuffing cups, roast potatoes, steamed beans, and gravy.
