[BILTONGMAKERS.COM]
A Pork belly roast is such a fun and easy thing to do and it takes no time at all. Pork is also a very inexpensive meat and a nicely roasted large Pork belly on a dinner table looks stunning and never fails to impress guests. INGREDIENTS:
1-2kg Pork belly (medium fat) complete with skin and somewhere between 5 and 10cm thick Olive oil Salt Black pepper corns 5 Chinese spice mix or Barbecue spice or A herb mixture such as an mix of origanum, thyme and rosemary
WHAT TO DO:
•Put the meat side up and rub with whatever spice or herbs you have handy. •We often grind together some Chinese 5 spice and black pepper corns •You can also use a herb mix of origanum, thyme and rosemary plus salt and pepper •If you have nothing else simply use some barbecue spice •Whatever you use, spice the meat side well •Now turn the belly skin side up •Score the skin of the belly long-ways with a sharp knife (or make diamonds like we do sometimes). •Make sure that you don't cut all the way into the meat •Rub the whole skin side with some olive oil. •Take some coarse salt and black pepper and rub well into the cuts and all the skin. •Put in a container, cover with tin-foil or Gladwrap and keep in the fridge (preferably overnight)
THE NEXT DAY:
Heat the oven to 200C Take an oven tray and fill with about 1-2cm of water Put the meat skin-side up on a rack in the tray. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours When the meat is done put the grill on full blast and really crisp up the skin to "bubbly" crackling. (Watch your teeth!) Enjoy and don't tell your doctor about it]
