How do we make a roasted suckling pig? Learn how to make this recipe!
1. First, season the suckling pig with salt. Next, wrap the legs and tail in foil. Place the pieces on the oven tray on a wooden plate and with the skin side down.
2. Then add some water to the bottom of the tray. Preheat the oven to 150º-160º and bake for approximately 1 hour and a half.
3. Once the time has elapsed, turn the suckling pig over and spread the skin with white lard. Next, increase the oven temperature to 180º-190º and bake for 45 minutes.
4. Finally, increase the oven temperature with high heat from above so that the skin is crispy. Sauté the baby potatoes with the fresh thyme and the Coupage Hacienda Guzmán Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Our recipe is ready to savour at the table this holiday season!
Extra bonus: How do we pair roasted suckling pig? We suggest that you go for any rosé wine, whose acidity is greater than that of red wine. Without a doubt, this type of wine will add a very special touch to the meat and will make you enjoy its flavour even more. Enjoy your meal!
