As with the roast lamb the most important thing is that the
piglet be of good quality, for this it should weigh less than
6 kilos, this will make the recipe much simpler.
Ingredients for 8 persons
4 kilos of suckling pig, of the parts you prefer most.
Salt.
Although 4 kilos may sound like a lot you must
take into account the loss of weight during cooking.
Prepare the oven at a temperature of 400º.
Salt the entire piglet.
Place the piglet in a large casserole and place
in the oven. Cook for 30 minutes, add a little water as a base
some 200ml. in the dish over the juices that come from the meta.
In this way at serving time you can add a little sauce to make
it juicer.
Alter the 30 minutes test a piece of the meat
to see if it is tender, if you see that it is still not done
allow another 10 minutes more.
Now for the secret to be sure the skin comes out
crunchy.
Place the piglet under the broiler so that the
flame is above the meat, set the temperature at about 300º
and allow to brown, it will not be crunchy until it has browned
a little.
It can be roasted several hours before it is served,
but the broiling process should be done just before it is served.
