Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With a very sharp knife, cut a crosshatch pattern into the pork skin, being careful not to cut through the meat. Rub the pork all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and place skin-side up in a small roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet.
- 2. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest. Cut off the skin and approximately 1/2-inch of fat and return to the roasting pan. Roast the skin in the oven until crispy, another 15 minutes.
- 3. While pork rests and the skin is crisping, make the salad. Slice the radishes thinly and add to a bowl. Trim and string the snap peas and add to the bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each coarse sea salt and pepper. Dress with the olive oil and lemon juice. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- 4. Pull the cracklings from the oven and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Slice the pork roast and serve with the cracklings, salad and pan drippings from the roast.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil; season generously with salt. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Blanch the sugar snap peas in the boiling water for 2 minutes, or until they turn bright green and soften slightly. Strain, then immediately plunge into the ice bath to cool completely. Drain well. Spread out the snap peas on a baking sheet and dry with paper towels.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the prosciutto slices; cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to cool and drain of excess oil.
- Add the dried sugar snap peas to a large bowl, and crumble the prosciutto over the peas. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the goat cheese, shallots, orange supremes, orange juice, radishes, mint and tarragon; gently toss together. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
ORANGE AND RADISH SALAD
The marriage of radish and orange punches way above its weight as a salad. This version is based on one James Beard collected. Alice Waters, the founder of Chez Panisse, has a recipe, too. So does Paula Wolfert, who dedicated her nine cookbooks to Mediterranean cuisine. Their inspiration came from countless Moroccans who have this salad in regular rotation, often with orange flower water. This recipe leaves it out, opting for a simpler but still refreshing salad that requires careful, precise preparation of the oranges and the radishes to make it shine. If you like, add a pinch of cinnamon to the dressing or sprinkle a bit on top.

Steps:
- Combine lemon juice, sugar and ΒΌ teaspoon salt in a jar. Twist on the lid and shake until the sugar and salt dissolve; chill dressing thoroughly.
- When ready to serve, simply arrange the orange rounds on a serving dish or individual plates, top with a pretty pile of radish matchsticks and drizzle with the dressing. Grate a bit of orange zest on top, if desired, and serve with the tiniest bit of flaky sea salt for finishing, if you like - but that exact amount is best left to individual diners.

Drain the peas on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD WITH RADISHES, MINT AND RICOTTA SALATA
There's a reason pea salad is usually slathered in mayonnaise. Just try to get those tiny rolling orbs to stay on your fork without it. That's why when it comes to pea salads, choose sugar snaps. They have the same bright sweetness as shelled peas but, eaten pod and all (no shucking required), they're easier to grab. Here, raw sugar snap peas are tossed with radishes, fresh mint, ricotta salata and a simple lemon-balsamic vinaigrette for a easy salad that's sweet, salty, creamy and fresh tasting.

Tips:

- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the radishes.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
- Toss the snap peas, oranges, radishes, and dressing together until well coated.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
