Herb stuffed roast pork
For herb stuffed roast pork, you will need:1 boneless pork roasting joint, can be loin, leg, shoulder or belly bunch of fresh coriander 1/2 cup Olive Oil salt 1 whole fresh garlic, peeled and thinly sliced freshly milled black pepper zest of one lemon Instructions Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius. Lay out the joint on a board. Blot dry with paper. With the skin side facing up, score lines through the skin using a very sharp knife (be careful!). Rub salt,pepper, and plenty of olive oil into the skin, right through into the cuts you have just made. Wash and chop the coriander. Flip the pork over so that the skin side is now facing down. Make a couple of deep cuts into the meat, without cutting all the way. Stuff the slots with garlic slices, fresh coriander, lemon zest, salt, pepper and more olive oil. Roll and tie up the joint with strings. Cook in the preheated oven until cooked through, or better still, be guided by a meat thermometer, and cook until the meat reaches 75 degrees Celsius. Remove the joint from the oven and allow the joint to rest in a warm place for about 20 minutes, then carve into slices and serve. Go on from "herb stuffed roast pork" to our other recipes...
