They’re in season. Peeled them myself. They’re not my favourite, but you’ve gotta buy what’s in season. The crackling was tremendous.
Love roast carrots and sweet potatoes, so I should like, maybe it’s from a childhood of honey roast ones from being a kid.
Was the meat itself a bit over as a result though? Come on, be honest. Probs worth the sacrifice though tbf, could juts eat a bowl of the crispy rind. Parsnips = the rest looks great.
It’s wasn’t overdone no. Was a shoulder joint. Was very moist!! Key to good crackling is let the joint get to room temp then dry the fat with a tea towel and salt it. Then when give it half an hour at 200 then turn down the heat to 180 for another hour and a half. was a 1.5k joint as well.
