Easy and elegant: Roast pork belly dazzles guests effortlessly.
Ingredients:
  • 2kg piece boneless pork belly (skin on)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 40.00 ml thyme leaves
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • Salad, to serve
  • Mashed potato, to serve
  • Salt flakes, to season
Instructions:
  • With a sharp knife, create an attractive criss-cross pattern on the pork belly skin and fat, being careful not to cut into the meat. Set aside for later.
  • In a mortar and pestle, combine garlic, ground cloves, caraway seeds, chili, thyme, and a pinch of sea salt. Crush into a paste. Stir in olive oil and lemon juice. Rub the marinade over the pork and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
  • Place the onion slices in a roasting pan and place the pork on top. Roast for 30 minutes at the current temperature. Lower oven temperature to 170°C and continue to roast for about 3 hours until the pork is tender and fully cooked with crispy skin. Let the pork belly rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then slice and serve alongside the salad and mashed potato.
