1 Preheat oven to 220°C. Score the pork skin then pat dry. Rub with salt, drizzle with oil, then arrange in an oven tray. Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce heat to 150°C and continue baking for 3 hours. Set aside to rest.

3 Spread the baguette with aioli, then top with sauerkraut. Arrange a pile of pulled pork on top of each, then finish with pickles. Serve with crackle, shoestring fries and ketchup.
