  • All wrapped up. had to cut the fucker in half - 5 kilos of pig is a lot of meat. took the tonselm less is more approach so its stuffed with a handful each of thyme, sage and rosemary, half a jar of anchovies, shitloads of garlic, crushed black pepper and fennel seeds, lemon zest + juice, dash of red wine vinegar and a healthy twist of salt or 4. hopefully the next few days in the fridge will dry out the skin sufficiently before being ovened for 4 hours or so.

    if i've forgotten owt, it's too fuckin late now.

  • You should see the skin start to blister over the next day as moisture is drawn out. I’d cover it with something if keeping in the fridge that long

  • I haven't salted the skin yet. Planning on doing that about two hours before it meets it's fate.

    I would have thought covering it would hamper the drying process? Happy to be corrected.
