Ingredients

2.5 kilogram boneless pork leg roast, rind on

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon sea salt flakes

6 medium potatoes (1.2kg), quartered

2 tablespoon olive oil, extra

2 tablespoon fresh sage leaves

2 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves

Apple sauce

3 large green apples (600g)

1/4 cup (60ml) water

1 teaspoon white sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).

Score pork rind with sharp knife; rub with oil, then salt. Place pork in large shallow baking dish. Roast, uncovered, 20 minutes.

Reduce oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Roast, uncovered, about 2 hours.

Meanwhile, combine potato with extra oil and herbs in large bowl. Place in single layer on oven tray. Roast, uncovered, about 35 minutes.

To make apple sauce, peel and core apples; slice thickly. Place apples and the water in medium saucepan; simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until apple is soft. Remove pan from heat; stir in sugar and cinnamon.

Stand pork, covered loosely with foil, 10 minutes before slicing. Serve pork and sage potatoes with apple sauce.

You can use boneless pork shoulder roast, if you like.
