Pork Mini Roast with Lemon Honey Glaze
Ingredients:
- 1 Australian pork mini roast or ask butcher for pork nut roast
- 1 / 3 cup CAPILANO honey
- 1 / 3 cup cooking oil
- 1 / 3 cup lemon juice
Method:
- Place pork on roasting rack, brush with a combination of CAPILANO honey, oil and lemon juice.
- Place in a pre-heated oven at 180°C.
- Cook for approximately 40 minutes per 500g, 80 minutes per 900g.
- Baste regularly during cooking. To test, pierce with a skewer, the juices should run clear. Rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Serve with steamed vegetables, baked potatoes and gravy.
Hints:
- When baking, always remember to place the shelves in the oven before pre-heating. Open the door quickly, add food and close straight away, this way you will not lose heat.
- Always rest the meat before carving as this allows the meat to relax - the result is a more juicy, tender roast. As pork is low in fat, bake low fat potatoes in a separate pan by simply spraying with a film of olive oil spray.
- The lemon honey mixture gives a marvellous colour to the pork and also makes a wonderful base to any instant gravy mix.
