Top Tip for making Phil Vickery’s Pot Roast Leg of Pork with Cider Vinegar and Mustard

Chef’s secrets 1) English mustard powder works best here, rather than made mustard – it will be far more pungent. 2) Many pork producers now offer mail order, and whatever you do, buy British. The British Meat Quality Standard Mark guarantees that the pork has been produced to the highest standards of food safety and animal welfare. 3) You could use a hand of pork or a cut from the shoulder instead of the leg, but these tend to be more fatty.
