Method

  1. Mix the salt and sugar and rub all over the pork. Put in a large dish and cover loosely with clingfilm. Leave in the fridge overnight. the next day, wipe off any of the mix left on the meat with damp kitchen paper (most of it will have dripped into the dish).
  2. Heat the oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Mix the honey, paprika, brown sugar and sherry and rub all over the pork. Put it on a rack in a roasting tin and cook for 7 hours. Remove from the oven and rest the meat on a plate loosely covered with foil. Tip off the juices from the roasting tray, skim off the fat and baste the meat with the juices.
  3. Cook the onion and garlic in a splash of olive oil until soft. Add the washed clams and sherry and put a lid on for a few minutes until the clams have steamed open. Add the herbs, stir and season.
  4. To serve, tear the pork into fat chunks, spoon over the some of the meat juices and then finally the clams and their liquor. Serve with crusty bread.
