Ingredients
- 170 g Pork belly, raw
- 1 g Salt
- 0.3 g Bay leaves
- 0.3 g Black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Score the pork skin in close parallel lines, cutting through the fat but not into the meat.
- Push the bay leaves into a few of the scored lines.
- Rub the salt and pepper well into the scored skin.
- Roast for 30 minutes at the high heat to start blistering the crackling.
- Lower the oven to 160°C (320°F) and roast for a further 1.5-2 hours until the meat is very tender and a core temperature of at least 71°C (160°F) is reached.
- If the crackling is not fully crisp, finish under a hot grill for a few minutes, watching closely.
- Rest for 10 minutes, then carve and serve with the crackling.
