Recipe:
1. Make some cuts in the pork skin. The cuts should be through the whole length and parallel. This will help the marinade to take and the skin to crisp beautifully.
2. Chop the rosemary and mix it in the marinade of mustard and honey. Pour the marinated mix on the pork skin and leave the pork to marinate in the fridge for a minimum of two hours, or you can also let it marinate overnight.
3.Cut the apple in slices and place them flat in a pan, then put the butter slices and thyme herbs on top of the sliced apple. Bake the apples in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 C. The apples should take on a golden color and have a soft consistency.
4. When the meat is marinated, place the leeks in a pan and the pork meat skin-side-up on top of the leeks. Pour the wine into the pan with the meat, this will keep the meat from burning or drying out and will create a rich juice. Put the pan and its contents into the oven for two and a half hours at 230 C. When the pork is cooked, take it out of the pan and leave it to cool down outside of the oven for a while.
5. Add 100ml of beef or pork stock to the pan and reduce the mixture over low heat to make a sauce.
Serving tips: Before serving, grill the meat in the oven one last time for eight to 10 minutes under 250 C. Place the apple slices on a plate with the meat on top and pour the sauce around.
Enjoy with some red wine!
