How to Roast a Pig

Roasting pig is one of the most delicious and attractive dishes that decorate every festive table. To make the roasted pig tender and aromatic, you need to prepare it well.

The pig is poured with boiling water, wiped dry with a towel and sprinkled with flour where there is a little bristle left. It sets itself on fire to remove itself.

If the pig is not cleaned, cut it in half through the belly and chest, remove the entrails and wash the pig in cold water.

The pig is salted from the inside by rubbing it well with salt. Place it in a large tray with the back facing up and spread it with liquid or sour cream.

Whole Pig

Pour it with 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Add half a glass of water into the tray and bake for about 1 hour and a half at 220°C.

To form a crispy golden crust, the pig is basted several times with the fat from the tray during roasting. Once the pig is ready, remove it from the tray and prepare the sauce.

One cup of hot meat broth is boiled and strained through a thick sieve. The pig is drizzled with melted butter before serving, and everyone is given a piece drizzled with sauce.

The pig turns out very tasty with the addition of many spices. That is why we are giving you a recipe for aromatic roasted pig:

Necessary products: 5-6 kilogram pig, 2 heads of garlic, 2 heads of onion, 2 dry red peppers, 5 bay leaves, 2 lemons, a little olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.

Moisten the pig using a wet cloth. Chop the garlic, onions, crush the peppers, and the bay leaf. Everything is mixed with salt and black pepper. Rub the pig inside and out with this mixture. The pig is covered with slices of lemon and left for 8 hours.

If the pig is large, cut it in half. The tray is greased with olive oil, the pig is sprinkled with a few drops of water and the outside is greased with olive oil.

The tail and ears are wrapped in foil. Light cuts are made along the spine. Roast at 180°C. After it has been roasted for half an hour, it is poured with the juice from the roasting or with olive oil.

After an hour has passed, the foil is removed. Roast for another hour and a half, periodically basting with the juices from the roasting.
