Slaughtered at around three weeks, the meat stays tender and the skin crisps up to a glassy crackling in the oven. At ≈imately 4 to 4.5kg this is the smallest size we offer, which is the point. It fits a standard domestic oven and roasting tray, cooks evenly and feeds 6 to 8 people generously. The technique is simple. Defrost slowly in the fridge, score the skin, season with sea salt and rosemary, and roast on a rack with a splash of white wine in the tray. Skin side down first, then turn skin side up to crisp. Serve with roast potatoes, piquillo peppers and a green salad.
