Slow-Roasted Leg of Pork with Spicy Scratchings

1 leg or shoulder of pork 3 tablespoons fennel seeds 3 tablespoons coriander seeds Pinch dried chile
pepper flakes Maldon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for
drizzling 1 bulb garlic, skin left on the cloves 1 handful fresh sage 1 handful fresh rosemary

Ask your butcher to remove and reserve the skin and bone from the leg of pork. To make the
scratchings, cut the skin into two pieces and score incisions through each piece. In a pestle and
mortar, crush half the fennel seeds with half the coriander seeds, chile flakes, and a pinch of
salt. Sprinkle the spice mix over the top and finish off with another good pinch of salt. Pour a
little olive oil over the pork skin and bake in the oven, on a rack over a tray to catch the fat, in
a preheated 425 degrees F (220 degrees C/gas 7) oven until very crispy.

Make crisscross incisions all over the pork, on both sides. Crush the remaining fennel and coriander
seeds with another good pinch of salt. Sprinkle over both sides of the pork, and finish off with a
grinding of black pepper. Place the pork and garlic cloves in a roasting tray. Cover with a few good
lugs of extra-virgin olive oil. Place the sage and rosemary in a pestle and mortar and gently crush
together until they are lightly bruised and have released their flavours. Add 4 tablespoons of olive
oil. Squeeze the flavoured oil over the pork and rub the herbs all over it. Cook in the oven in a
preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C/gas 6) oven for about 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Any leftovers are
great to use in sandwiches the next day.

Yield: 10 servings Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 5 hours Difficulty: Medium

Please excuse the dumb question, but 400 degrees F for 4 to 4 1/2 hours seems awfully hot. Is that
correct? BTW, the sasonings sound really good!

Thanks, Wayne
