Tips:

• For guaranteed crispy crackling, remove your roast from its packaging and place it on a large plate covered with paper towel and allow to sit in the refrigerator overnight. This will allow to skin to dry and make better crackling. Make sure your roast is brought to room temperature prior to beginning preparation. If your crackling is not perfect don’t panic. Preheat your grill to 200°C then place your roast on a tray in the centre of the oven and grill for 4-5 minutes watching the rind carefully so it does not burn. You may need to move it around to grill evenly. Remove, stand 4 -5 minutes, then serve.
