Ingredients

5 peeled, chopped eschalots

1/4 cup cider vinegar

2 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoon garam masala spice mix

1 tablespoon brown sugar

4 pieces ginger, peeled, chopped

long green chilli, chopped

1.5 kilogram boneless rolled pork neck, skin off (reserved)

Method

1.In a food processor, combine eschalots, vinegar, oil, spice mix, sugar, ginger, garlic, chilli and turmeric. Process to a rough paste.

2.Rub paste over pork meat. Using a sharp knife, score pork skin at 1cm intervals, being careful not to cut all the way through fat layer underneath. Cover pork with skin layer and secure with kitchen string, tying at 2cm intervals. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.

3.Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Place pork in a baking dish, on a sheet of foil, skin side up. Scrunch foil sides to protect exposed flesh, on top exposed to heat.

4.Reduce oven to slow, 150°C. Bake a further 3 hours. Remove from oven, on high. Grill exposed skin on pork 6-8 minutes, until crispy. Rest pork 20 minutes before carving. Serve sliced, with drizzle of juices. Accompany with salad.

The spicy curry flavours pair well with a salad of tomato wedges, red onion and mint dressed with olive oil and sherry and vinegar.
