Aldi pork loin joint.

As it's sunday, we decided to have another roast.  Today was the turn of the frozen Aldi pork loin joint.  It comes complete with it's own stuffing.

It can easily be cooked from frozen, taking roughly 2 1/2 hours.

After removing the cardboard cover, you are presented with a film wrapped foil tray, containing your joint.  The film is easily removed and you can quickly place the whole tray into the oven.  However, please remember to cover the joint with ordinary foil before you start the cooking process.

Set the oven to 180 degrees and you can leave it for an hour and a half.

After the first 90 minutes are up, take the joint out of the oven, remove the foil and then whack the heat up to 190 degrees.  The instructions on the box state to cook it for another 40 minutes, but I would recommend cooking for the full hour, just to be on the safe side.

When the joint is fully cooked, the juices should run clear.

Remove the tray from the oven and leave it to stand for a few minutes.

For those of you who like crackling, this is perfect as it comes with a generous portion.  The joint is held together by 2 elastic strings, which should be removed before carving.

Transfer the whole thing to a plate, carve; serve and enjoy!

My score out of 5 would be 3

Because I did find it rather watery, and the stuffing portion provided was not very generous.
