Do you ever have those days when you know you have forgotten something but cannot remember for the life of it what it is.

I had one of those days yesterday.

Maybe I had just tried to pack to much into one weekend.

Maybe my mind was elsewhere or maybe I’m just getting old.

Whatever the reason last nights attempt at this beautiful traditional pork scratchings recipe ended up with me running out the house with a black stinky baking tray and a hubby banning me from the kitchen forever.

When asked if I fancied trying this recipe I was super excited.

Who doesn’t love a nice pork scratching and considering I have eaten and loved the restaurant in the Copthorne hotel I knew this recipe has the potential to be super tasty.

Of course the recipe does have you leaving the pork skin in the oven on low for 6 to 8 hours, what it doesn’t have you doing is leaving it for way over that time and simply just forgetting about it. ☺️

Whoops, does not seem to come close.

Thankfully I have saved the recipe and may try again at a later day.

Well that’s if my husband allows me back into the kitchen.

On a serious note though you really should check out the recipe for yourself and the Copthorne hotel. I’m still dreaming about the lamb koftas I had there a few months ago, with the Head Chef Michael Chambers the food is seriously yummy.
