What you need to do:

2. Place the Pork Leg Roast onto a wire rack. Roast at 230 °C in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the rind begins to crackle.
3. Turn oven down to 170 °C for the remainder of the cooking time, about 30-40 minutes per kg. Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
4. While the Roast is resting, prepare the pear and walnut salsa. In a bowl, combine the pear, walnut and chives, season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Heat 1 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add pear mixture to the pan, stir in the balsamic vinegar and vegetable stock. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until softened.
6. Drizzle the pear salsa on top of the sliced Pork Roast. Serve with roasted potatoes and green leaf salad on the side.
