Takes a long time, but so tasty. I start off by scoring the fat and then rubbing salt into it to help it crackle.
Then put it in the oven on a very high heat (I just turned mine up to max, which is about 250 degrees) for about 20 minutes. So now it should look something like this.
Turn the oven down to 150 or so and add the vegetables. I had potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, onion and carrot (not seen here - I put it in later as it takes less time to cook and I didn't want it to burn). I also added a few cloves of garlic.
Leave it to cook for about half an hour per kilo and it should be done. I also cooked some beans and corn on the cob to go with it. At the end, when everything's pretty much cooked, I siphoned off some of the pork fat that had dripped into the tray to make gravy (drippings + water + flour, put in saucepan, heat and stir) and poured that on top.
As you can see there was quite a lot - my brother was possibly going to come for dinner so I made enough just in case. He ended up not coming but I'd hardly eaten all day so it worked out well for me. :)
