Fancied cooking last night so I got a loin of pork from the supermarket 
(no heckling from the cheap seats).

I marinaded it slightly (see later) with freshly squeezed lemons and 
chilli flakes then whacked it in the oven at 200 for 20 minutes to crisp 
up the crackling. Then I turned it down to about 150-170 and roasted it 
for around two hours (it was about 1.8kg). 

In the mean time I stuck some rice, black eyed peas (in leiu of black 
beans) and some chopped chorizo in my rice cooker and let it to rip.

I also roasted some peppers because, well, I liked roasted peppers with 
pork.

If I was doing it again I'd probably 

 - marinade it longer
 - scrape the chilli flakes and lemon rind off the crackling since they 
   caught a little
 - found proper black beans, although the peass were very nice

I've caught myself wondering what this would be like on a barbeque.
