- 900 g king edward potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- vegetable oil or lard or dripping
- 300 g cauliflower florets

- 2 tablespoons marmite
- 1 glass red wine
- 570 ml chicken stock
- 50 g butter
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
- Taking a sharp knife, score the skin of the pork 12 to 15 times.
- Rub the vinegar over the skin, mix together the salt and thyme and rub into the skin.
- Place on a roasting tray and roast for 1 1/2 hours basting every 15 minutes or so.
- After about an hour, pour some of the fat juices into another tray and heat until smoking hot.
- Season the potatoes with salt and add them to the hot fat, spooning it over to make sure each piece is covered.
- Cook until crisp and brown, which will take about 40 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Whilst the meat is in the oven, pre-cook the vegetables separately in plenty of boiling salted water.
- Begin with the cauliflower, remove and plunge into cold water.
- Do the same with the carrots, beans and broccoli - in this order.
- Once they are all cooked and cooled, set aside until needed.
- Once the meat is cooked, remove from the tray and leave to stand.
- Pour off the excess fat.
- Place the oven tray on the stove, add the marmite, red wine and stock.
- Reduce, add half the butter and seasoning before passing through a sieve.
- Keep warm until needed.
- To serve, remove the roast potatoes and transfer to a serving dish.
- Reheat the vegetables in boiling salted water, tip into a serving dish and dot with butter.
