Ingredients
3kg Woolworths Australian boneless pork shoulder roast, rind on
3 tablespoons Woolworths Select Australian extra virgin olive oil 
1 teaspoon freshly ground Woolworths Select sea salt
1 teaspoon each Woolworths Select ground coriander and ground paprika
4 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
2 fresh lemons, rind finely grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2-3 cups Woolworths Select chicken stock
2 tablespoons Homebrand table salt
Fresh coriander & mint leaves to garnish
Sweet and sour pineapple salsa
500g naturally sweet fresh baby pineapple, peeled, cored
1 tablespoon finely chopped glace ginger 
1 fresh long red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
3 fresh spring onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon each chopped fresh coriander and fresh mint
1 fresh lemon, juiced

Directions:
1. Preheat oven 120°C fan forced. Set a wire rack in a large roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to remove the net, rind and excess fat from the pork. Discard the net and fat, set rind aside. Combine 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon freshly ground sea salt, coriander, paprika, garlic, lemon rind and juice. Spread all over the pork. 
2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat until hot. Add pork, cook turning until golden all over. Remove to rack in the roasting pan. Pour enough stock (about 2-3 cups) into base of the pan just to cover the base. Cover pork with 2 sheets of baking paper then cover roasting pan tightly with 2 sheets of foil. Cook for 4-4 1/2 hours, or until pork starts to fall apart. Remove from oven. Stand 30 minutes, loosely covered. Then transfer pork to a plate, covered. Strain the pan juices into a jug, skim fat from the surface. Pour juices into a saucepan, then simmer until reduced by half (400mls). Increase oven to 240°C fan forced.
3. Sweet and sour pineapple salsa: Chop the pineapple and put in a bowl. Add the ginger, chilli, spring onions, coriander, mint and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until required.
4. Put rind, scored side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Rub with remaining tablespoon of oil then sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of the table salt. Roast 30 minutes or until golden and crackled. Set aside then cut into pieces. Shred the meat into a bowl and add 3/4 of the reduced sauce. Pile onto a large platter. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Serve with crackling, salsa and fresh herbs.

Tip1: Keep the pork rind on a tray uncovered in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking. This helps dry the rind so it will crackle better.
Tip2: You know the pork is cooked when the meat starts to fall apart.
Tip3: Short on time, buy the fresh cut pineapple already peeled & cored from the fresh produce section.
