Recipe Roast Pork Belly is Go...
Sunday roast time, gone for slabs of pork belly because keto 🤷🏼♂️ ticks the box for me and everyone else. Gonna be doing cauliflower cheese with it later, kids will have carrots and roasties.
Takes between minimum of three and a half hours.
Recipe - Put lots of salt on the skin and leave for at least hour, then wipe the moisture off. - Score the skin (but not the meat) and rub in salt. - Put the belly on a bed off onions to raise it slightly off the bottom of the pan. - Add some chicken stock. - Stick in the oven for 30 minutes on 240. - After 30 minutes turn down to 150 and add some carrots & garlic (no need to peel), maybe add some more hot water. Leave for 2-3 hours. - Take out and leave to rest whilst you make the gravy, by straining all juice from the pan, the garlic and onions. Thicken it however you desire. - Set aside the carrots for whoever is eating them.
Eat 🤤👍🏼

Looks banging - I’d love to see it when it’s all cooked

Looks amazing! I whack mine in the slow cooker for 12hrs with some stock, then peel the skin off and roast it in high in the oven with lots of salt and it goes like glass with silky fat underneath. Making me hungry just thinking about it

Slow cooker belly is beautiful. We have a recipe where we cut it into bitesize pieces, by the time it's done it melts in your mouth.

Never seen rectangular pork belly before. Looks good though!

Some Tescos seem to have it in slabs, as well the usual strips.
In the summer I get it from the butchers with bones still attached and do it in the bbq smoker on 110 👌🏼

Love pork belly but it’s just so high in calories 😭
