Method

  1. Mix all the ingredients together (except the pork) in a large bowl. Add the pork and massage the marinade into it. Cover and put in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or ideally overnight) to marinate.
  2. Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. Put the pork on a grill tray, reserving the marinade for basting. Roast for 1-1½ hours until well charred on the outside, turning once and basting intermittently with the sauce to get a caramelised finish on the meat. The slower the cooking process, the more succulent the meat will become. Slice and serve with rice and greens.
