porky bump

In the slow cooker or a low heat oven?

I can manage that!!_ sorry should have put more info, I meant any ideas to flavour it (garnishes etc)

Thanks anyway ( although im sure ill end up burning it!)

I did some studded with garlic in a bottle of white wine, shallots and mushrooms, thickened wine once finished by adding 3 large tbsp redcurrant jelly and boiling rapidly for 5 mins or so

served with mixed roast veg

I have 2 slow cooker recipe books and was going to look in them for you.

did nobody come in and suggest slowly

we are having that tomorrow too. it will be with rosemary i think and we'll have swede and carrot mash with broc, apple and horseradish sauce. otherwise i have it warm with coleslaw and bread.

how big is it? i've got 2.5k shoulder, will give it about 4 hours. i have had them dry out and go a bit wooden if in for longer. i think my oven's a bit over hot.

Mmm- I found the perfect recipe.

its currently cooking!

Slow Roasted Pork with Garlic, Rosemary and Fennel

Serves 6

1 x 2.5kg (5 1/2lb bone-in pork leg joint
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tbsp fennel seeds, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
250ml (8floz) white wine
250ml (8floz) water
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 150?C, 300?F, Gas Mark 2.
Mix together the garlic, rosemary, fennel seeds, olive oil and seasoning. Make small incisions all over the meat, then rub with the flavoured oil, working into the flesh and incisions.

Pour the wine and water into a small roasting tin or ovenproof dish. Stand the pork on its side and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn the oven temperature up to 180?C, 350?F, Gas Mark 4 and cook for a further hour to crisp up the crackling.
Remove the pork from the oven and leave to rest for about 10 minutes. Slice thickly and serve with the cooking juices.
