6-hour slow-roasted pork shoulder

Serves 4 to 6

Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 6 hours This is a proper old-school Sunday roast with crackling. Leaving the bone in adds a bit of extra flavor and having a layer of fat helps to keep the meat nice and moist as it roasts. This isn't the kind of joint you... read recipe
