Christmas Leg of Pork
Ingredients
- 1-2kg fresh leg of pork (in English - Pork Joint)
- 1 large onion
- 5 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 handful of parsley and green spring onion (do not skimp here)
- 1 red finger chilli (dedo de moça)
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or olive oil
- Black pepper
- Salt (I used about 2 tbsp)
- On the day before, blitz all these ingredients roughly in a blender and put the leg of pork in to marinate, turning it the following morning if possible
-
On the day of cooking, put it in the oven together with the marinade, skin side up, covered with foil, in a 160C oven for at least 4 hours
-
After the 4 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 200C until the skin is golden and crackling crisp (pork crackling)
