So on Wednesday night I made "crackling pork roast" By Jamie Oliver. Here is the link for the recipe: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pork-recipes/6-hour-slow-roasted-pork-shoulder/
It wasn't hard but it took time. I had to adjust the time since I only wanted to cook a 1 kg pork shoulder and his recipe calls for 2 kg.
The fun part of making this was seeing the skin puff up off the pork. It took about 4 hours to make and came out really well.
My neighbor also came over to use my oven so it ended up not as crispy as I wanted it to be. Her oven had broken and she wanted to roast a chicken and some potatoes. It was fun to see how hard my oven was working with a pork roast, chicken roast and two types of potatoes inside. The chicken ended up taking 4 hours to make as well because of the distribution of heat. We even turned up the temperature to make up for the crowded space. It's amazing how much food we ended up with after everything was done. The chicken, pork, vegetables and potatoes came out well although nothing came out extremely crispy.
I didn't get a chance to take pictures but you get the idea. The pork has lasted until Saturday. We have a friend staying with us who is a vegetarian so you'll be seeing more vegetarian dishes in the next few days which is a good thing since I have so many bags of frozen vegetables that I need to use.
