Tried this on the weekend – ‘overnight slow roasted pork’. (+ variation)

I cooked it for most of the day, rather than over night and we ended up using a smaller portion of meat (~3kg) and scaled as in the linked recipe. Turned out very moist and extremely tender after 9 (!) hours of cooking. The mashed veg that you end up with is also delicious.

This apple sauce and these smashed roast potatoes worked a treat as accompaniments.

Jodie cooked a very delicious lemon delicious pudding. Almost lemon fantastic!

I like this sort of cooking when having people over – it’s a fairly easy recipe and most importantly for entertaining can mostly be prepared ahead of time. I had the apple sauce made and the potatoes boiled in the morning – ready to pop in 30 min’s before we ate. Perhaps best of all, you can get cheap meat – because you’re cooking it so long its going to be tender and tasty!
