Year-round salad: Crispy pork belly with citrus dressing and greens.
Ingredients:
  • 1kg boneless pork belly
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 9.60 gm sea salt flakes
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 2 brown onions, halved
  • 250.00 ml apple cider
  • 127.50 gm chicken stock
  • 2 baby fennel, thinly sliced lengthways
  • 40.00 ml mandarin juice
  • 20.00 ml white wine vinegar
  • 5.90 gm wholegrain mustard
  • 1.25 gm ground ginger
  • 2 ready-to-eat beetroot, very thinly sliced
  • 2 ruby red grapefruit, segmented
  • 3 mandarins, peeled, sliced crossways
  • 120g bag 4-leaf salad mix
  • 20.00 ml pepitas
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 240C (220C fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • Dry the pork rind thoroughly with a paper towel. Gently brush it with 2 teaspoons of oil and season with salt and caraway. Place sliced onion in a medium roasting pan, then lay the pork on top, with the rind facing upward. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the rind begins to crackle.
  • Preheat the oven to 160C/140C fan-forced. Surround the pork with cider and stock in the pan, avoiding the rind. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the pork is tender. Let the pork rest for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Place fennel on tray in a single layer. Drizzle with remaining 2 teaspoons of oil, then season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  • In a small bowl, combine mandarin juice, vinegar, mustard, ginger, and remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cut the ingredients into 3cm squares. Combine beetroot, grapefruit, mandarin, salad mix, and fennel on a serving platter. Top with pork, drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with pepitas, and serve.
