    Description

    This easy three-ingredient pork leg roast recipe is perfect for any celebration. The golden crackling and juicy, succulent meat delivers incredible crunch and flavour.
    Instruction tip
    Cooking tip:
    You’ll know the meat is done when a probe thermometer reads 74°C when inserted at the thickest part.

    Method

    Step 1 of 3

    Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Pat rind dry with paper towel.

    Step 2 of 3

    Rub rind with oil and season with salt, then arrange on a wire rack set over a roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 180°C/160°C fan-forced and roast for a further 40 minutes. Increase heat to 220°C/200°C fan-forced again and roast for a further 15 minutes or until pork is cooked through (see tip) and rind is golden and crackled.

    Step 3 of 3

    Set aside for 10 minutes to rest. Slice. Sprinkle with thyme. Serve with beans, apple sauce and pan juices.
