    Thank you! I'm not keen on crackling, so would discard the skin anyway after cooking. I am a bit concerned about all the fat....Is it needed to keep the joint moist or can I remove it?

    I have often roasted it. But at £2 a kilo at Mr M it is a great bargain. What else can I do with it? Any great recipes?

    treat it like any other joint of meat - casserole it, curry it or mince it for kebabs or burgers! I find you can substitute it for chicken quite happily but, it is absolutely delish in either cider or white wine sauce to which honey and mustard have been added. just remember that it needs long slow cooking!

    Pulled pork every time for me.

    i always do pork shoulder in my sc and have posted on that board but in case u cannot find the recipe here it is again:
    marinade 400g cubed pork shoulder with lots of chopped fresh tomatoes, 3 tbsp curry powder (i used a shaan curry powder from a box), few cloves garlic crushed, dash of soy sauce, dash of lemon juice, large pinch pepper, larger pinch chilli powder or slice few green chillies, 2 tbsp yoghurt, a tbsp olive oil and a tsp of salt (as my shaan mix didn’t have salt added but pls check your curry powder before adding salt). marinade for 20-30mins but overnight is always the way to go if u can be bothered......
    i sliced some red onions into thin rings and quickly fried it with a small star anise, couple of cloves and a cinnamon stick and a few curry leaves. i bunged all this into the sc with the pork and tomato marinade and added the tiniest bit of water (the tomato and pork will give out loadsa water anyways) and i’ve left it on slow all day. i usually serve this over couscous with lotsa chopped coriander and spring onions to garnish.
    You can do this on a stove top but may need to add more water and may need to keep an eye on it so it doesnt burn...

    Also, I remember my best frends mom used to make this absolutely delish dry pork curry. They were from Kerala, India. You must *so* google it.
    Alternatively pork vindaloo.... yum yum yum...
