Boned & Rolled Leg of Free-Range Pork 1

Boned & Rolled Leg of Free-Range Pork

£10.92 – £32.76

Our Boned & Rolled Leg of Free-Range Pork is a prime cut, full of flavour. And because it’s boneless, it’s easy to carve and a great choice for feeding a crowd. We score the skin ready for roasting: just sprinkle it with salt and blot dry with kitchen towel before cooking for extra-crispy crackling. See How Much Do You Need? below for help choosing the right size joint, and How To Roast Your Pork Joint for timings and tips.

Boneless stewing cuts: 180g (6oz) per person
Boneless joints: 225g (½lb) per person, plus 450g (1lb)
Bone-in joints: 340g (¾lb) per person

How to roast your pork joint

We love Sunday lunches and, as you can imagine, we’ve roasted a good many joints in our time. Over the years we’ve found that one method works perfectly for us, resulting in meat that’s always tender and succulent.

  • Take large joints out of the fridge an hour before roasting. This allows the meat to come to room temperature and ensures it cooks more evenly
  • Preheat the oven to 220ËšC/fan 200ËšC/gas 7.*Choose a deep-sided roasting pan big enough to hold the meat comfortably and add water or wine to a depth of 12-25mm (½-1in). This helps keep the air moist and ensures the meat stays succulent.
  • Sit your joint in the liquid then place the pan in the hot oven.
  • Cook for 20 minutes to seal the meat, then lower the temperature to 180ËšC/fan 160ËšC/gas 4 to finish cooking, allowing 35 minutes per 500g plus 35 minutes.
  • Transfer the joint to a warm platter, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This gives the juices a chance to settle and makes the meat easier to carve.
  • It also gives you time to turn all those lovely pan juices into rich gravy.* All ovens vary, and some models adjust the temperature, depending on whether you choose a conventional or fan-assisted programme.

*Always refer to your oven’s handbook, and if you’re still unsure, use an oven thermometer to check the temperature and make adjustments as needed.
