This is a rich dinner which would be perfect for a dinner party or comforting Sunday meal. The crispy pork crackling with soft pork flesh stuffed with plenty of herbs, orange and garlic is so easy to do and so delicious. Paired with a creamy buttery risotto full of plenty of salty, nutty parmesan and the slight hint of floral saffron goes so well and some spicy nduja butter brings it all together.

Some days just feel like a roast day. And some days feel like slow cooked, crispy crackling kind of roast days. I’d never tried salsa verde with pork before but I’m now a total convert. The sharpness and acidity of the sauce cuts through the richness of the pork and works so well. It’s also compulsory to serve any kind of roast pork with apple sauce and roast potatoes.
