Christmas pork roast

Directions

1. Clean the suckling pig and rub the inside and outside of the pig well with the lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and rub the pig thoroughly with the mix. Leave to stand for one night.

2. Next day, before putting it into the oven, cut the joints of the shoulders, hands and feet to prevent shrinkage during cooking, place it in a deep baking dish, so that it holds its own juice when cooking and arrange with the skin downwards so it cooks first. Cook for one hour, then turn it over, and let it cook for about three hours over medium heat (350ºF).

3. Remove the baking dish from the oven and cut the meat into medium-sized pieces before serving.
