A hearty family roast, done right, is cause for celebration—and a great reason to know your local butcher! This pork loin is flavored with herbs and served with spiced apple chutney.

Garlic- And Herb-Roasted Pork Loin With Crackling And Spiced Apple Chutney Recipe

For the pork loin:

Kosher salt

(60 milliliters) neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed

garlic, cut in half across the bulbs

thyme

rosemary

For the Spiced Apple Chutney:

apples

onion

fresh ginger, grated (20 grams)

pomegranate juice (120 milliliters)

apple cider vinegar (150 milliliters)

light brown sugar, packed (about 5 ounces; 140 grams)

mustard seeds (about 2 grams)

red pepper flakes

star anise pod

Garlic- and Herb-Roasted Pork Loin With Crackling and Spiced Apple Chutney Recipe

For the pork: Dry the skin as much as possible with a paper towel. Generously season the meat (not the skin) with kosher salt, including in between the ribs and meat. Place the roast on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to the refrigerator and let rest, uncovered, at least overnight and up to three days.

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 475°F (246°C). If the butcher has not done it for you, score the rind with a very sharp knife, using long, parallel slits 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch apart across the width of the loin; be careful not to cut into the flesh.

Flip the loin over and rub the flesh side with the remaining oil. Lift the meat from the bones. Place the garlic, thyme, and rosemary up against the meat. Using butcher's twine, tie the ribs back to the loin, with the aromatics sandwiched in between.

Rub the rind with more salt, ensuring that the salt is rubbed well into the slits. Brush the rind with 2 tablespoons of oil.

Place the loin, skin-side up, on a rack in a roasting pan or baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325°F (163°C) and cook until an instant-read thermometer poked into the center of the loin reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium, about 1 hour. Skin should be puffy and crisp; if it’s not puffy enough, remove the roast from the oven, preheat the broiler, and place the roast a few inches under the broiler until the skin puffs.

While the pork roasts, make the Apple Chutney: Combine the apples, onion, ginger, pomegranate juice, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, pepper flakes, star anise, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 45 minutes. Remove the star anise and allow to cool.

When the roast is done, remove it from the oven and let the loin rest on a carving board for 30 minutes.

Remove the ribs by cutting the remaining flap, discard the garlic and herbs. Carve the loin into slices following the scores so that each slice has a segment of crackling (approximately a 1/4-inch-wide strip). Serve the warm pork loin with apple chutney and your preferred sides. (We like Yorkshire puddings and a bitter green salad).

Belly is the cheapest pork roasting joint and, as it’s rich, a little goes a long way, making it perfect for Sundays and dinner parties

Crisp Chinese pork

pork

tsp Chinese five-spice powder

tbsp soy sauce (we used Kikkoman)

ginger,

tbsp Thai sweet chilli sauce

spring onion, finely chopped

Rub the pork with the five-spice and 2 tsp sea salt then leave, uncovered, in the fridge for at least 2 hrs, but preferably overnight. When ready to cook, heat oven to its maximum setting. Lay the pork on a rack over a roasting tin, making sure the skin is exposed. Roast for 10 mins before turning down the heat to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4, then leave to cook for a further 1½ hrs. Have a look at the pork – if the skin isn’t crisp, turn up the heat to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7, then cook for another 30 mins until crisp. Leave to rest on a board for at least 10 mins.

To make the dipping sauce, mix all the ingredients together with 2 tbsp water. Cut the pork into small pieces, then serve with the sauce, plus boiled rice and steamed greens, if you like.

When you’ve got a big crowd to feed, this recipe is sure to go down an absolute treat. With crispy crackling and rich, fennel-spiked liver stuffing, it makes the perfect Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, or you could serve it up with baps, slaw and an array of condiments for a build-your-own party centrepiece.

This delicious, tender air fryer pork roast recipe features the easiest crackling you&#039;ll ever make! Perfect for weeknight dinners, special occasions and even Christmas dinner.

Air Fryer Pork Roast

pork loin joint

salt

Score the rind length ways. Rind can be quite hard to cut through, so you will have to carefully use a sharp knife. Make sure to only cut the rind, and not to cut through to the fat and meat underneath.

Pat the rind dry with a paper towel, and salt generously. Make sure to rub salt into the cuts you just made. Then, leave the pork roast to rest uncovered in a refrigerator skin side up for around 24 hours. Make sure to have a look at it once or twice while it rests, and wipe off any liquid that appears. This will ensure that the rind dries out completely.

Preheat your air fryer to 400 F / 200 C.

Transfer the pork roast to the air fryer, skin side up, and air fry until the internal temperature of the pork is 145 F / 63 C. The exact roasting time will vary, but you can find suggested times in the table below.

Remove the cooked pork roast from the air fryer, and leave it for about 15 minutes before you carve and serve.

Roast Loin of Pork with Golden Crackling

stock

Tbsp plain flour

"Porchetta is made throughout central Italy, and varies slightly depending on the region. Paolo Tocchio, a butcher from Borbona in Lazio’s Rieti province, shared this recipe with me. The art of butchery has been in his family for generations, and in the winter he bunkers down to make sausages, guanciale, pancetta and prosciutto. I love eating porchetta on its own, as well as the traditional Roman way – in a panino. City folk flock to the Castelli Romani and to Ariccia, the Lazio town renowned for its porchetta, and fraschette, the casual restaurants where porchetta and wine go hand in hand." Recipe by Paolo Tocchio via Maria Pasquale.
