My Dad always made fantastic pork crackling (he was the main cook in our family when I was growing up!), then I was lucky enough to marry a man who is also a bloody good cook – don’t they say you always marry someone like your dad? Anyway, my hubby has a tried and true pork crackling recipe that’s a winner every time, and he was lovely enough to allow me to share The Best Pork Crackling with all of you here. (Thanks honey!

Ingredients
1 Pork-Roast
2 tbsp Salt
2 tbsp Oil-not olive oil as it tends to burn
Directions
- Leave the pork out of the fridge until it’s almost room temperature, then wipe it down with paper towel to dry the skin.
- Score the pork skin with a sharp knife and rub it with table salt – enough to cover the pork skin, don’t be stingy!
- Leave it sitting for 5 to 10 mins (covered), then drizzle oil over the pork and sprinkle a little more salt on. Don’t rub it in.
- Put the pork in the oven (or BBQ) at 180 degrees C for however long you need to cook the pork. (30 minutes for every 500 grams).
- 15 mins before the end of cooking time, turn the temperature up as high as it will go (keep an eye on it!)
- Recipe Hints and Tips:
- Pork Crackling is not suitable to freeze. (Most of the time there is none left anyway!)
