pork roasting guide:
Take your joint out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Always sit a trimmed leek or onion under your joint of pork; it will caramelise and add both colour and flavour to your gravy - discard after cooking. Oven temperatures differ and so this guide is approximate - (NOTE: always test pork by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the joint, juices must run clear, not pink).

pork recipe
pork roasted with mustard, honey and fresh sage

Our organic pork roasting joint is both succulent and full of flavour - guaranteed to lift pork in anyone’s estimation. Pork generates the best, and easiest, of sauces but with this honey and mustard basting it will be particularly deep in colour and flavoursome.

Serve the pork thickly sliced with roast potatoes, leeks and carrots - or some tasty greens.

Ingredients - serves 4

750g roasting pork
2 tbsp whole grain mustard
2 tbsp runny honey
2 tbsp olive oil
bunch of sage leaves - about 10g

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C

In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, honey and olive oil. Sit the pork in a roasting tin and brush with the mixture. Scatter with sage leaves and transfer to the oven for about 1 hour 15 minutes - or until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the juices are running clear. Transfer the joint to a warm place to rest for a 5-10 minutes before carving.

Meanwhile return the roasting pan to the stove and add 200ml water, stir and scrape around the tin to incorporate the sticky meat juices and then strain through a sieve. Taste and adjust seasoning of the sauce if necessary. Slice the pork and serve on warmed plates with vegetables and sauce spooned over.
