Roast pork
Pork roast is a classic dish that has been enjoyed by people for centuries. The history of this dish is long and varied, with different cultures and regions putting their own unique spin on the dish.
One of the earliest known recipes for roast pork comes from the Roman cookbook, Apicius. This recipe calls for the pork to be marinated in wine and spices, then roasted on a spit. The dish was then served with a sauce made from the pork drippings.
Roast pork also has a long history in China, where it is often served as a holiday dish. The most popular way to prepare roast pork in China is to marinate the meat in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and five-spice powder. The pork is then roasted in a charcoal fire until it is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
