Method

Roast carrot and parsnip batons with oil and honey at 200°C for 30 minutes to serve.

Blend pesto ingredients together in a blender.

Remove from oven when the meat is soft and the skin is crisp.

Reduce oven temperature to 110°C and roast for 8 to 24 hours, basting occasionally.

Turn the pork and pour over half the lemon juice and 2 tbsp olive oil.

Roast the pork on a rack for 30 minutes until the skin blisters.

Mix smashed garlic, fennel seeds, salt, pepper, and chili and rub into the meat.

Score the pork skin with deep cuts about 5mm wide.

Preheat the oven to 230°C.
