Ingredients :

  • 1 rack of suckling pig
  • Assortment of seasonal vegetables (e.g., carrots, parsnips, Brussels sprouts)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 30 g butter
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation :

Prepping the suckling pig rack: Season the rack of suckling pig with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Cooking the suckling pig rack: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a roasting pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sprig of rosemary and sear the rack of suckling pig on all sides until golden brown. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and juicy.

Preparing the seasonal vegetables: While the pig is roasting, wash and chop the seasonal vegetables. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven alongside the pig for 20-30 minutes, or until they are caramelized and tender.

Assembling the dish: Remove the rack of suckling pig from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pig with the roasted seasonal vegetables, drizzled with the pan juices for added flavor.
