Method

 

PORK

  • Score the Pork skin using a sharp knife
  • Tip - Lightly freezer the pork joint to firm up the skin to help score the skin.
  • Rub the salt into the skin, keeping back 1tsp to season, set aside for 2hrs. Wash off the salt and dry with kitchen towel. Sprinkle remaining salt to season.
  • Start it off on 240C/220C fan/gas 9 for 30 mins, then reduce the heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook for 1 ½ hrs. Test it 10 mins before the end with a temperature probe. When the core reads 70C, it’s cooked. Wrap in foil, leave to rest.
  • If you do not have a probe, use a skewer/fork and press into the center of the joint and when you remove the juices should run clear.

 

COUSCOUS

  • Pour the boiling water over the couscous and cover and set aside for 10mins Leave to cool.
  • Peel the red onion and de-seed the red pepper. Finely dice and mix with chopped apricots, dates and drained sweetcorn. Add to cooled couscous.
  • Pick and roughly chop the coriander, mint and flat leaf parsley, mix through the couscous with the Cumin, lemon juice and a good ‘Glug’ of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

 

HONEY SAUCE

  • Mix all the sauce ingredients together bring to the boil and simmer for 10mins

 

TO SERVE

  • Sprinkle your couscous with chopped pistachios and cashew nuts, spoon on to plates. Carve the Pork and top the couscous. Finish with Honey, mustard and cider sauce.

 

Enjoy!
