BBQ Recipes

Ingredients:

• 5-6kg leg of pork, uncooked
• oil
• salt
• pepper

Method:

If not already scored, the pork should be scored in a diamond pattern, ensuring you cut right through the rind, but not too deeply into the fat.

Prepare the barbecue with Heat Beads^® BBQ Briquettes. Rub the oil and salt over the roast. Season it with pepper and place it on the barbecue. Cook it with the lid on for 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat is well cooked. Do not lift the lid during the first hour of cooking time as this may prevent the skin from crackling.

Serve the pork sliced with vegetables or salad; and partner it with apple sauce, gravy, or baked fruit.

3 Golden Crackling Rules:

We have found that you can almost guarantee crackling on your pork by following these rules…

1. Cook with a very hot fire.
- For a small pork roast, no extra fuel will be required
- For an average pork roast, use 10% more fuel
- For a huge leg of pork (over two drip trays), use 20% more fuel.

2. When you buy the pork, make sure that it has white skin (not yellow or brown).

3. The pork should have a good layer of fat under the skin.
