Balinese roast pork

Winter is the time for warm, hearty roasts. Think roast chicken with all the trimmings, a standing rib roast of beef or even a roast turkey that’ll feed a crowd at Christmas in July. Then there’s all the salads you can make with the leftovers, combining the season’s leafy greens, shredded cabbage or roasted root vegetables.
