American Pork Leg – Delicate and Expressive! – Page 2

Prepare the Pork:

Rinse and pat dry the pork leg.

Make small cuts into the meat and stuff them with minced garlic.

Season:

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, mustard, brown sugar, paprika, cumin, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Rub this marinade all over the pork leg generously.

Let it marinate for at least 2 hours (better overnight in the fridge).

Roast:

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).

Place the sliced onions at the bottom of a roasting pan and put the pork leg on top.

Pour the apple cider or chicken broth around the pork.

Cover tightly with foil.

Cooking:

Roast for about 4–5 hours, basting with its juices every hour.

For the last 30 minutes, remove the foil to allow the pork to brown and crisp.

Serving:

Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired.
