Serve up this roast for a special occasion. We’ve taken inspo from the classic salt and vinegar crisp flavour and smothered it on a shoulder of pork before roasting until tender and succulent. It’s served alongside buttery, glazed onions. It’s comforting, celebratory and exactly the kind of roast that makes Sunday lunch feel extra-special.

Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 9, 240°C, fan 220°C. Pat the pork shoulder skin completely dry and rub the salt thoroughly into the skin and cuts. Place the pork skin-side up in a roasting tray. Pour the white wine into the tray around the pork and scatter the thyme around it. Roast for 30 mins to get the crackling going.
- Reduce the oven to gas 4, 180˚C, fan 160˚C and continue roasting for about 3–4 hours, until the pork is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.
- Meanwhile, place the onions cut-side down in a roasting dish. In a jug mix together the chicken stock, honey, wholegrain mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the onions, then dot the butter over the top.
- Place the onion dish in the oven alongside the pork and cook for about 1–1¼ hours, until the onions are soft and the sauce becomes buttery and slightly reduced.
- During the final 20–30 minutes of the pork cooking, brush the skin lightly with the 1 tbsp malt vinegar for the salt-and-vinegar flavour. Rest the pork for 20–30 minutes once cooked. Serve by slicing or pulling the pork and spooning the buttery honey-mustard onions and their sauce alongside.
