1 16-pound whole pig
1 teaspoon salt
6 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 loaf unsliced bread
1 apple
Servings: 14
The pig should weigh about 16 pounds. Wash it thoroughly and drain. Salt it inside and outside generously. Cut slits under the shoulders and on the thighs. Put 1 teaspoon salt and a cut piece of garlic in each slit. Put 6 cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a clean cloth. Pound this slightly with a hammer. Rub cloth over pig inside and outside. Put 1/2 loaf of unsliced bread inside of pig. In the largest roasting pan, place 2 short pieces of clean board (so the roast won't stick to bottom of pan). Cover top of pig with foil of heavy parchment paper. Place shiny apple in the mouth. Bake at 350 for 5 to 6 hrs. basting with oil or beer once or twice. It is done when no pink juice runs when pierced with fork. Remove bread and dispose of it. Serve hot or cold. If apples becomes soft after baking, replace with a fresh one.
