Method

1. Preheat oven to 240°C on bake.
2. Using a sharp knife score the skin of the pork in diagonals at regular intervals.
3. Mix the garlic, fresh herbs, chilli paste, salt, bread crumbs and olive oil together in a bowl.
4. Place the pork, skin side down on a board and spread the combined mixture over the pork.
5. Roll up the pork widthways and secure the edges with long skewers.
6. Securely tie the pork with string wrapping it around the pork at intervals. Remove skewers.
7. Place the pork in a lightly oiled roasting dish and rub the rind with the remaining oil and salt.
8. Roast the pork at 240°C for 20 minutes, turning the pork once. Reduce the heat to 160°C and cover with foil. Cook for a further 3 hours or until the juices run clear. Baste at regular intervals throughout the cooking time.
9. To crisp up the skin remove the foil 1/2 hour before cooking is completed. Remove from dish.
10. Serve hot or cold with a salad or crusty bread.
