Combine all of the ingredients for a marinade and pour over the pork. If you have the time, allow the pork to marinate for a few hours or ideally overnight. 

Preheat the oven to 180C. Pour the pork into a tray and cover with baking paper and foil. Roast for 1 hour or until tender. Allow it to rest in the tray for a few minutes.
