What To Serve With Roast Pork
Roast pork with crackling pairs beautifully with a variety of sides that complement its rich, savoury flavour and crisp texture. Classic options include roasted root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and potatoes, which soak up the meat’s juices and add a hearty element to the plate. Apple sauce or spiced stewed apples offer a sweet-tart contrast that cuts through the pork’s richness. Creamy mashed potatoes or a smooth cauliflower purée provide a soft, comforting base, while a sharp mustard or cider gravy enhances the savoury depth. For freshness and balance, include a crisp green vegetable like steamed beans, sautéed kale, or a tangy red cabbage slaw. These combinations create a well-rounded and satisfying meal that highlights the star of the show—the crackling.
