Linley Valley Pork Loin Roast
🍳 Prep Time: 1 hour 30 mins
⏳ Cook Time: 1 hour 5 mins
🍽️ Serves: 4-6 people
Introducing Linley Valley Pork’s new crackling pork loin roast, with Tuscan Herb & Garlic seasoning and WA Lake Deborah Salt – a standout centrepiece for your Christmas gathering. This flavorful cut offers versatile seasoning options and easy preparation, delivering crispy crackling and an elegant touch to any holiday table. Available from your local independent supermarket from December 18th, ready in time for Christmas!
Tips for a Perfect Roast
- Dry the skin overnight: Ensure ultimate crispiness by patting the skin dry and refrigerating it uncovered overnight.
- Season generously: We’ve scored and pre-seasoned the roast with WA Lake Deborah Salt, but we encourage you to add more prior to cooking. Salt helps draw out moisture, which is essential for a beautifully crispy crackling.
- Rest before slicing: Let the meat sit for a few minutes after cooking to lock in the juices before carving.
