Roast Pork - How to BBQ

Method

Step 1

• Put the hotplate in the middle, fire up the outside burners, leaving the ones in the middle off.
• Score the 100% NZ __pork roast rind with a sharp knife - diagonal parallel lines 1cm apart.
• Brush with oil and salt.
• Insert thermometer in thickest part of roast.

Step 2

• Once the BBQ reaches 160 - 170ºC, place the __pork roast, fat layer up, in middle of the BBQ and close lid.
• Wait until the meat thermometer reads 71ºC for 'medium done' and 76ºC for 'well done' pork.
• As a general guide pork takes an hour per kilogram to roast at 160ºC.
• Half an hour before roast is ready, place apple slices around the pork.

Step 3

• Remove the roast and rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before carving. This allows the meat to firm, the juices to settle and makes carving easier. Carve roast across the grain with a sharp knife to ensure maximum tenderness.
• Serve with bbq'ed apples and vegetables such as 100% NZ truss tomatoes, sweetcorn, and asparagus or a kumara salad.
