Roast Little Pig

Ingredients

1 young pig (about 3 weeks old)
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

Directions

Clean the pig thoroughly, ensuring the butcher has drawn and scraped it.
Use a wooden skewer covered with a soft cloth to clean the ears, nostrils, and vent near the tail.
Scrape the tongue, lips, and gums with a sharp knife, then wipe them with a soft cloth and remove the eyes.
Wash the pig well with cold water, wipe it dry, and rub 1 tablespoon of coarse sea salt inside the pig.
