This traditional pork joint is full of flavour and when roasted has fantastic crackling. With the bone being removed it makes carving easy.
Butchers Tip
Leave it unwrapped in the fridge on a lower shelf. Pork cooks much better when the skin is dry (especially if you want to make crackling) so leaving uncovered helps the process. You can also use kitchen paper to dry the pork thoroughly, including the skin. Always throw the paper away once used for hygiene reasons.
