Roast pork

Nothing beats the taste of a delicious pork roast, and it's not difficult to do at all. To cook, proceed as follows:

Preheat the oven to 180° C and season the surface of the roast. Place on a rack on a shallow roasting pan.

Roast, uncovered, in centre of oven for 25 minutes per 500g and an extra 20 minutes until cooked.

Allow to stand 10 minutes before carving.
