Did this for 4 people with a 1kg joint: cooked for 4 hours, then 45 mins at higher temperature - lovely! Didn't serve up the crackling, but the drained cooking juices (and deglazed pan), made a wonderful sauce/stock too.

I am cooking this today but with a 2kg joint, can anyone advise cooking time for smaller joint...I want to achieve crispy crackling too!!! Thanks!

Gorgeous! Served with Jamie Oliver's baslamic onions and potatoes, it was effortless and great end result ;)

I dont very often cook roast pork so thought I'd give this recipe a try, i will definitely use it again. The meat was just delicious to eat, so tasty and tender. My only criticism was that the crackling didnt go as crispy as I would have liked it so will allow exra time at the end for this next time.

Loved the marinade flavours. A tasty and easy meal.

I have done this recipe several times. It really is great.

i have cooked this many times but i always pour half a can of cider over the pork - trust me it is fabulous - a great entertaining meal

Cooked this for a family gathering yesterday. So easy to do, the potatoes were really tasty too, once the pork was cooked and resting I poured out a lot of liquid from the oven dish and returned the potatoes to a really hot oven for about half an hour, this crisped up the potatoes nicely. I was asked for the recipe, that's always a good sign.

I've cooked this a few times and has been sublime every time.

I am going to try this at the weekend but my joint of pork is only 2 kg. anyone any ideas of how much i should reduce time to cook. sounds too easy to just half it ??? thanks for any help offered,

We rarely eat pork but this is lovely. I thought the marinade was going to be over-powering after smelling during the marinade process but the final result was quite a subtle flavour really. Always goes down well

Really tasty with a lovely bit of crackling and succulent moist meat. Hastle free cooking with great results...will definitely be doing this again :-)

Made this for a friday night family dinner for ten and it was devoured in minutes ! Served with the butterbean and tomato stew, delicious.

I did not use the marinade, just roasted it plain.
We had hot roast pork cobs with stuffing and apple sauce for Boxing Day family get together.
Joint was fantastic - texture and taste was amazing, just how pork should be. So moist and juicy!
Very easy to do and I will always cook pork this way. 10/10

Thanks for the tip! Cheers.

I sat the meat on top of the potatoes. I think the foil probably kept the meat from drying out and the potatoes turned out really well too.

Does anyone know if the meat is supposed to be submerged in the liquid - or should it be sitting on top of it on the potatoes? The way my potatoes sit and the size of my dish means the pork is not really in the liquid - I fear it will affect the final result. Thanks.

All the family loved this

I found this recipe in this month's Good Food magazine and cooked it yesterday along with the butter bean & tomato stew, the spiced yoghurt, and served with harissa paste, as suggested. I halved the amount of pork used as there were only 4 of us eating and therefore reduced the time of cooking. Thankfully, it all turned out really well! The crackling also got a lot of praise, so thank you for this recipe!
