This is another recipe involving crispy pig skin. The other two entires,
puffy and
crunchy, were the basis for this attempt. It uses a picnic roast, which is from the shoulder, but cheaper than the Boston butt.
Ingredients:
1 each pork
picnic roast/pork arm picnic
salt
soy sauce
brown sugar
pepper
frying fat
Method:
Lay the shoulder skin side up and take off all of the meat resting above the two bones and joint. This will leave you with a slab of skin with a little fat and meat underneath it.

| Rolled and baked shoulder |
The bones and rest of the shoulder(a majority of it will be left behind) can be use for something else. Lay the slab you have removed flesh side up and season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Add a few dashes of the soy to the very center of the meat and roll the skin over so that the open ends of skin meet. Hold this roll tightly and secure with several knots tied with thin twine.
 |
| After frying, the skin puffs |
Rub the outside with more salt and bake at 325F for 2 hours. Turn it over, turn down the oven to 250F and bake for an additional 3 hours. Remove from the oven and pan fry in very hot oil so that the skin puffs. Slice once it cools slightly.
 |
| The cross section |
The skin is a hybrid of crunchy and puffy, the meat is tender and juicy.
Plate it up!
