Roast Pork with Apple and Honey Glaze Recipe
This makes a nice smelling roast – I am writing this while it is still cooking, so hard to comment on taste :) EDIT: It turned out delicious.
Ingredients:

  • 2KG Lump of Pig Leg
  • Decent glug of olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, diced.
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 apples peeled then finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup honey – I used the remains of our manuka honey. Worth a look at ManukaHoney.co.uk and getting some. It is awesome tasting and really really good for you. Just not for the piggy.
  • 1 sprinkle of oregano
  • 2 spooned dollops of dijon mustard
  • 2 squeezes of lemon juice
  • 1 glug of worcestershire sauce
  • A couple of scrunches of salt and black pepper

How to do it:

  1. In a saucepan, add a glug of olive oil so you are setup to saute the onions and garlic
  2. Turn your oven on 180C , place a roasting dish in there and a glug of oil.
  3. Saute for a few minutes until onion and garlic are soft and translucent.
  4. Stir in the sliced apple and turn up to a high heat stirring and then putting the lid on. The aim is to get the apple nice and soft.
  5. Add the honey, oregano, mustard, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Keep stirring on a high heat until it is a nice smelling gooey mess.
  6. Take the dish out of the oven, it ought to be very hot and have uber hot oil. Get the lump of pork and place it in the dish and then rotate it. The aim is to to sear the outsides where possible.
  7. Get the gooey mess aka. apple honey glaze and

It is handy to put 1-2cm slices into the pork before starting as it grips the glaze better and the flavour enters the meat.
