910g (2lb) Goats cheese
680g (1½lb) Pigs liver
455g (1lb) Chestnuts, roasted and peeled

1 tbsp Sugar (or to taste)
½ tsp Salt

Finely chop or mince the liver into very small pieces, set aside.
Grind the chestnuts.
Dice the Brie as small as possible.
Combine the roast pork, cooked liver, egg yolks, cheese, chestnuts, and spices and mix thoroughly.
Stuff the pig with the mixture, then using the butcher's twine and needle to sew up the opening.
Place the pig on parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
Cover the ears, the snout, and the tail of the pig with cooking foil, to prevent burning.
Preheat oven to 200°C: 400°F: Gas 6
Combine the oil, vinegar, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Baste the pig thoroughly with this before placing in the oven.
Roast the stuffed pig for 3½-4 hours, basting thoroughly every 15 minutes, until completely cooked through.
(Use a meat thermometer to guarantee that the center of the roast is over 180°C: 350°F.)
When completely roasted, remove from oven.
Remove the foil from the ears, snout, and tail, then carefully transfer the pig to a large cutting board or garnished serving platter.
Serve with Yellow Pepper Sauce or Cameline Sauce.
Serves 10.
This dish was originally designed to be spit roasted, if you have the inclination and means then that is the way in which you should roast it.
Pourcelet Farci
It should be scalded, washed well and put on the spit.
The stuffing is made from the viscara of the piglet, from cooked pork, cooked egg yolks, a rich cheese, cooked, peeled chestnuts, and good spice powder (var.: and salt), all of this is ground together and put into the belly of the piglet, and the cut is sewn up, then put it to roast basting it with vinegar and good boiling grease and salt, eat it with hot yellow Pepper Sauce - some lazy persons eat it with Cameline Sauce.
THIS IS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD !

Roast Suckling Pig
Submitted by: MissJess Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 7 Hours Ready In: 7 Hours 25 Minutes
Yields: 12 servings
"A new twist on an old holiday favorite. While preparation is best done over a fire-pit, the oven works just as well if you are short on minions to turn and baste or if you happen to reside in the city."
INGREDIENTS:
1 (12 pound) dressed suckling pig
1/2 cup butter, sliced
8 ounces sliced bacon
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon blackened seasoning
2 cups apple cider
12 cloves garlic, peeled
1 red apple, for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Rinse the pig, and tie the front legs together with heavy string. Tie the back legs together also. Make numerous slits in the skin, and insert slices of butter, followed by cloves of garlic. Generously rub the entire pig with salt first, then the Cajun seasoning, including inside the cavity. Lay strips of bacon across the back and secure to the sides with toothpicks.
3. Place the pig in a large roasting pan and pour in the apple cider. Cover the ears and snout of the pig with aluminum foil to prevent scorching.
4. Roast for 7 hours in the preheated oven, basting every hour or so with the drippings. If the pan begins to dry out, add more cider or water. To serve, remove to a platter, and place the apple in the pig's mouth. Discard the aluminum foil from ears and snout.

CUBAN-STYLE ROAST SUCKLING PIG
In Cuba, this dish is traditionally served on New Year's Day. In this tradition, as in the Hawaiian luau, the pig is usually covered with banana leaves and cooked over a coal fire in a pit that's dug in the backyard. Because this method is not easy to do at home, the recipe below uses a small suckling pig that will fit in the oven, yet deliver the same delicious flavor. Ask your butcher to split the pig for you. Don't be afraid to give this recipe a try — cooking a whole small pig is like cooking a whole turkey.
Marinade
Juice of 30 Seville (sour) oranges, or juice of 20 limes and 8 regular oranges (7 to 8 cups)
Cloves from 6 heads of garlic, minced
1 cup minced fresh oregano leaves
5 tablespoons salt
1 whole suckling pig (about 12 pounds), split
Lime, Garlic, and Oregano Mojo
Combine the juice, garlic, oregano, and salt in a mixing bowl. Transfer to a large, deep roasting pan and place the pig, belly down, into the pan. Thoroughly coat the pig with the marinade, massaging it in. Let sit in the marinade overnight. Baste the pig occasionally.
Preheat the oven to 275°F.
Remove the pig from the marinade and place it on a large baking sheet. Cover the pig’s ears, snout, and tail with aluminum foil. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 4 to 4 1/2 hours (20 minutes per pound).
Remove the foil when you take the pig out of the oven. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Serve with the mojo, and some black beans and rice.
Makes 8 servings.
Ingredients:
1 Pig, suckling, 15 lbs
Garlic, cloves, whole
1 c Juice, lime
1 bunch Marjoram, chopped
1 bunch Thyme, chopped
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1/2 c Oil, olive
Vegetables, mixed, such as Bell peppers of varying colors, baby eggplant, zucchini, summer squash, fresh green beans
Directions:
Rub the pig with lime juice, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs. Put the spit through the pig, attaching the spinal column to the spit with some wire to prevent the pig from slipping. Skewer in place. (Put a whole bulb of garlic on each skewer before sticking them into the pig.)
Roast the pig, browning the skin gradually. If the skin starts to blister, decrease the fire's heat.
While the pig is cooking, baste it with olive oil flavored with marjoram and thyme. Cook for about 6 hours, then take the pig off the spit and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Carve and place the meat on a serving plate.
Bake the eggplant on a grill until it's tender. Grill the peppers, then seed and slice them when tender. In salted water, blanch the zucchini, squash, and green beans. Toss all of the vegetables in olive oil, chopped herbs, salt and pepper. Add vegetables to the serving plate and garnish with garlic clove halves from the skewers. (The garlic will be very mild and tasty roasted in this way.)
