Naturally sweet pineapples are the perfect accompaniment to succulent slow-roasted pork.
- Place onion, garlic, chilli, allspice, cinnamon, oregano, sugar and lemon juice in a food processor. Process until almost smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Remove pork from netting and unroll. Place on a board. Pat dry with paper towel. Place pork, rind-side down, on board. Spoon spice mixture onto pork. Rub to coat. Re-roll pork. Tie with kitchen string at 3cm intervals to secure. Place pork in a glass or ceramic dish. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced. Place pork on a wire rack in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with oil and remaining salt. Rub to coat. Cover with foil. Roast for 3 hours 20 minutes. Increase heat to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Remove foil. Roast for a further 15 to 20 minutes or until crackling is golden and crisp. Cover loosely with foil. Rest for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make Pineapple salad: Place pineapple, cucumber, chilli, coriander, lemon juice and oil in a bowl. Toss to combine. Place lettuce in a bowl. Top with pineapple mixture.
