Ingredients
- 1.5 kg pork roast
- 2 bunches of kale, stems removed and chopped
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey, salt, and pepper to create a glaze.
- Score the fat on the pork roast in a crisscross pattern, cutting about 1/2 cm deep.
- Place the pork roast in a large roasting pan, and brush the honey glaze all over the meat, making sure to get some in the scored lines.
- Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C (350°F) and continue roasting for another 30 minutes per kilogram, or until the meat is cooked through.
- While the pork is roasting, toss the chopped kale with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl.
- After the pork has roasted for 45 minutes, add the kale to the roasting pan, spreading it out in a single layer around the meat.
- Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the kale is tender and caramelized.
- Remove the pan from the oven, and let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving with the deliciously roasted kale.
