Goes with: Roasted garlic mash is good, or rice, and steamed green veg
Note: 200ml white wine, 300ml chicken stock can be added after half an hour roasting the pork. After the meat is finished, reduce the juices in a pan for great gravy.
- pork belly with skin, unsliced, min 400g dependent on how many are being cooked for
- olive oil
- lemon zest (optional)
- Glaze:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp english mustard
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- lemon zest or 1 tsp lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 220C/430F/Gas mark 7
- Score a crosshatch into the skin if the butcher hasn't already. Score through the skin into the fat but not down to the meat. A stanley knife is ideal.
- Rub the pork with olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon zest (if using)
- Roast for 25 minutes, turn the oven down to 180C/370F/Gas mark 5, then another 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Meanwhile mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl
- When the crackling is finished (hard to the touch), take the meat out, coat all over with the glaze, then cook for 5-10 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven, and rest for 5-10 before slicing
