Slow roasting the pork ensures it is wonderfully succulent, so make sure to not rush the process. (Cook the pork at 300°F/150°C for 3-4 hours) Enjoy the deliciousness of the slow-roasted pork!
Method
- Preheat oven to 130°C (550°F).
- In a small bowl mix together oil, sage, garlic and tomato paste. With a knife, make small incisions into the pork. Rub in mixture and season well.
- Lay prosciutto on the chopping board. Place pork on top, and fold over so the pieces of prosciutto wrap around the pork. Tie and secure with kitchen string.
- Heat a medium sized heavy based baking dish onto the heat. Add pork and cook, turning, until browned. Add white wine and let sizzle. Add stock and cover tightly with foil.
- Bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours (210-240 minutes) or until tender, checking that liquid isn't evaporating too quickly.
