Ingredients

  • 2 kg of leg of pork, boneless
  • 2 apples, cored and sliced into wedges
  • 1 tsp of salt flakes
  • 1 tbsp of sunflower oil
  • 100 ml of cider
  • 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed and sliced
  • 25 g of butter
  • 1 dusting of freshly ground black pepper, to garnish

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/Gas 6. Rub the skin of the pork with oil; sprinkle on the salt flakes. Put the joint in a roasting tin and roast for 1 hour.

  • Step 2

    Melt the butter in a pan, toss in the sliced fennel and apples. Fry until they take on a little colour, then pour the cider into the pan.

  • Step 3

    Spoon the caramelised mixture around the pork; return to the oven for 40-50 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the veg is tender.

  • Step 4

    Remove the crackling and snap into bite-sized pieces. Carve the pork garnished with thyme sprigs and serve with the crackling and veg.
