Serves 4

pork

  • 800 g – 1 kg pork shoulder
  • Salt & pepper (optional)

rhubarb ingredients

  • 250 g rhubarb, cut 5 cm / 2 inch lengths
  • 400 g fennel bulb, shaved or finely sliced
  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 80 g parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (omit for AIP)

Directions 

pork

  • For best crackling results, it is best to remove packaging from the pork, rinse and pat dry with a paper towel, score the skin and leave in the fridge overnight with a cloth to cover it, so the skin dries out.
  • Pre-heat oven to 240°C / 460°F.
  • Place pork shoulder in a roasting tray and pat over the salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 30 – 40 minutes at 240°C / 460°F until the skin blisters and crackles. Watch closely for burning.
  • Reduce heat to 180°C / 360°F and roast for a further 1.5 hours or until the meat is meltingly tender and the skin is crackled.
  • Ensure pork is cooked completely.

rhubarb

  • Place the rhubarb and fennel in a baking tray with scant amount of olive oil and toss so lightly coated.
  • When the pork is 15 minutes from being ready put the rhubarb and fennel tray in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • If you don’t have space in your oven, you can add the fennel and rhubarb to the pork tray.

broccoli salad

  • Combine all the ingredients and toss.
