Roast Pork Loin

The use of a thermometer here is essential to get the pork cooked just right. I really like my Meater Bluetooth thermometer.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5kg pork loin joint with skin
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sunflower oil

Method:

  1. Score the pork loin skin with the sharpest knife you can find (or a craft knife)
  2. Mix the salt and baking soda together and then sprinkle liberally on the pork and rub into the skin
  3. Place uncovered in the fridge for at least an hour
  4. Heat the oven to 230 degrees
  5. Remove the pork from the fridge, wash off the salt and baking soda and then thoroughly dry the top with kitchen towel
  6. Lightly brush both the top and bottom of the join with sunflower oil
  7. Place in the oven on a raised rack in a roasting tin
  8. Roast for 30 minutes and then turn the oven down to 160 degrees
  9. Roast for another hour or so, until the pork reaches 60 degrees inside
  10. Remove from the oven, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes
  11. Serve with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and apple sauce
Serves 6.
