Ingredients

Rolled Pork Roast 2kg
3x Potatoes cut in 1/4

2x apples of your choice
1/2 Bunch of Thyme
3x Garlic Cloves

1x Lemon

Method

To cook this meal I have found that a spun steel camp oven from Hilly Billy Camping works better than anything I have used. I found this because their camp ovens have the ability to stack the meat & the vegies separately as they cook at different times. This also allows me to keep the meat up off the bottom of the camp oven on a trivet (Which wouldn't work with the vegies as well) & also lets the apple sauce run through the vegies only.

Prepare the rolled pork roast by squeezing 1/2 a lemon on to the Pork skin all over & let the pork sit at room temperature for 1/2 an hour. (Brings roast to room temperature which will make meat more moist & the acidity in the lemon helps to break down the fat)

Pat the roast dry totally with paper towelling & coat the roast with olive oil.

Cover the roast with sea salt 1x crushed garlic clove & 1/4 bunch of bruised thyme & massage into the roast with hands. (add extra sea salt if you wish for a consistent coverage at the end)

Put Roast in camp oven on top of a trivet & cook at high heat for 20 minutes. (Put even amount of heat on top, underneath & around camp oven)

Add in vegetable rack & spacer ring to camp oven & put potato, carrot, pumpkin & apples in to vegetable rack.

Remove whole garlic cloves from skin, cut in to thirds & add to vegetable ring. Cover vegetables with Olive Oil, Sea Salt & bruised 1/4 bunch of thyme.

By adding in vegetable ring, it will cut the heat going through to the Roast pork by half & put 1/3 heat under & around bottom of camp oven & 2/3 on top of camp oven. Allow about 1 to 1.5 hours to cook. (Replace heat as required)

Meal is ready once vegetables are crisp & brown & the apples are still holding shape but have semi self exploded.

Take Pork out & remove outer crackle & cut into pieces.

Slice pork across grain in to slices & add vegetables on to plate.

Drizzle Olive Oil over vegetables & meat & pull apart the exploded apples with tongs & coat all meat & vegetables.

Yum!!!!!! your meal is ready.
