- 1 whole pork leg roast (about 2–3 kg)
- 2 tbsp BlixSam Nou Braai Spice
- 2 tbsp BlixSam Garlic Melt Spice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp coarse salt (optional, for extra crispy crackling)
Method
- Pat the pork skin completely dry with paper towel.
- Score the skin if it hasn't already been scored, taking care not to cut into the meat.
- Rub the olive oil all over the roast.
- Season the meat generously with BlixSam Nou Braai Spice and BlixSam Garlic Melt Spice.
- Sprinkle a little coarse salt over the skin for extra crispy crackling.
- Place the pork on a foil-lined roasting tray, skin side up.
- Roast at 220°C for 30 minutes to blister the crackling.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 170°C and continue roasting for 2½–3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 70–75°C.
- Rest the roast for 15–20 minutes before carving.
