Place pork on a baking tray. Pat the rind dry with paper towel. Using a sharp knife or clean box cutter, deepen scoring in skin and fat of pork (don’t cut through meat). Place in the fridge, uncovered, overnight to dry out the rind.
Preheat the oven to 230°C. Cook bacon in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat, stirring, for 2 mins. Add the celery and cook for 1-2 mins or until bacon is golden. Transfer to a bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, walnut, sage and egg and stir to combine. Season.
Place pork, rind-side down, on a clean work surface. Remove string and open pork. Use a large sharp knife to cut a lengthways slit through the thickest part without cutting all the way through. Open out pork to form 1 large piece. Press the bacon mixture along the centre of the pork. Roll up to enclose as much of the stuffing as possible, securing with kitchen string at 5cm intervals. Place pork, rind-side up, in a flameproof roasting pan. Brush with oil and rub the rind with sea salt flakes.
Roast the pork for 30 mins or until the rind crackles. Reduce the oven to 180°C. Roast for 1 hour. Arrange the potato, carrot and brussels sprout around the pork. Roast for 40 mins or until pork is cooked through. Transfer the pork and vegetables to a serving dish or platter. Loosely cover the pork with foil. Set aside for 10 mins to rest.
Meanwhile, to make the gravy, drain the fat from the roasting pan, reserving 1 tbs of fat. Place the roasting pan with the reserved fat over medium-high heat. Add the flour and mustard powder and cook, stirring and scraping base of pan, for 1 min or until mixture becomes grainy. Add the apple cider or apple juice and the stock and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 mins or until mixture boils and thickens. Season.
Slice the pork. Serve immediately with vegetables and gravy.
COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Cook it right: For a juicy result, rest pork shoulder for 10 minutes to give the juices time to redistribute through the meat. For smaller cuts like chops and steak, rest for 5 minutes.
Ingredient tip: You can substitute apple cider for apple juice.
