How to:

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.

Ingredients:
2 x 750 g barbecue pork spare ribs
For the salsa
4 cobs sweet corn, boiled
1 small pawpaw, halved and pips removed

Fire up the barbie or preheat the oven to 200°C.

Place the spare ribs in an ovenproof dish and baste with the remaining marinade from the packs.

Roast for 35 minutes, or until cooked through and sticky. Serve with the salsa.

To make the salsa: Carefully run the blade of a sharp knife down the side of each corncob to remove the kernels.

Chop the flesh of the pawpaw and scoop out the avocado flesh, then add, with the tomatoes and butter beans, to a large bowl containing the corn kernels. 

Blend the coriander, chilli, lemon juice and olive oil, and mix into the salsa until combined. Season to taste.
