After the hour is done, take the pork out by two forks and let it stand for 20 minutes on the chopping block or plate
let the vegetables keep cooking for the 20 minutes
After the 20min, slice of the Crackling and serve as an entrée
Then slice the pork up and enjoy!!
As for the gravy, I love mushroom gravy for this, a couple of packets from the shops will do and it is amazing compliment with this dish
