Recipe ingredients

2lb Joint of either pork should, belly, collar or leg joint

Beer, sage and Honey Marinade

300ml (1/2pt) blonde light beer (or any liquid of your choosing)
10ml (2tsp) fresh sage, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic squashed and 15ml (1tbsp) Honey

Preparation

If it’s rolled cut the strings and unroll
until flat. When unrolled, if the joint is thicker than
3-4cm, slice into the meat and open up so that it
can be flattened out even more. Using 4-5 long metal skewers thread through meat. This will aid heat transfer and make it easier to turn.

Place meat in a shallow dish and pour the marinade all over. Cover with cling and leave to marinate in fridge for about 1 hour.

Place on preheated BBQ and cook for about 30-40 minutes
until the juices run pinky/beige in colour and the meat is succulent and juicy or to a minimum internal temperature of 70C.

If you don’t have a lidded barbeque cover the joint with an upturned foil container or make a ‘foil hat’ with a double layer of foil. This helps the joint to cook by both direct and indirect heat.
