Hi,
I am cooking for some friends tonight and have got a Pork Leg Joint from the local butcher, it has just dawned on me that I have not cooked a pork joint before, so am looking for some tips!
Any help appreciated!

whack the oven up high gas mark 8
rub the joint with veg oil and a little salt to get crackling
do at the high temp for half an hour (half hour sizzle)
then turn oven down to gas 5 and do for 35 mins per pound
take out for half hour before serving to ease carving
if you need to crisp the crackling up cut it off and put it back in the tin in the oven and whack the heat up again
make your own apple sauce and that will impress too
if you have hugh fearnley whittingstalls meat book that is good;)
best of luck;)Member no.1 of the 'I'm not in a clique' group :rotfl:

put slivers of garlic in the pork...20 mins in the oven at 245c then lower it to 190c and continue roasting for 35 mins per lb.... its fool proof and it will turn out perfect! good luck!I am determined to lose weight!:kisses3:

Stick it in the slow cooker with a chicken/pork cube and 1/2 a cup of water for 4/5 hrs. Trim off the fat and serve. Easy peezy!0
