Spicy Roast Pork Leg
Background
For an interesting variation on a traditional Sunday lunch or dinner party centre-piece, why not try this Spicy Roast Pork Leg? The rub ingredients permeate deep into the meat and vegetables giving them a splendidly rich, exotic flavour - while the smell as it's cooking is wonderful!
Ingredients
- 1.5kg pork roasting joint
- For the spice rub:
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 1 Tbsp paprika
