Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Crispy Crackling
For an effortless, budget-friendly, and incredibly delicious holiday feast, a slow-roasted pork shoulder is hard to beat. Rubbed with an aromatic blend of garlic, fennel seeds, rosemary, and olive oil, the pork is slow-roasted at a low temperature for several hours until the meat is tender enough to shred with a fork. A final blast of high heat turns the outer skin into a glorious, blistered, crispy crackling. Served with a sweet and tangy apple sauce and roasted root vegetables, this comforting, rustic dish is perfect for feeding a large, hungry crowd on Christmas Day.
