Hey guys sharing my weekly special with you all and i decided to get some pork out as i had a lot still left from my other menu. I love pork belly. When done right!!
For this dish i braised off a whole pork belly piece for 3 hours in the oven with some water and butter , enough to not cover the belly but shallow braise. i salted the top very well as this will ensure later we get some crackling crackle!
Once done i let it rest for an hour which will cool it and allow cutting much easier. I cut it into a nice square and then in either a none stick pan or on a flat top if you have one i on a medium heat crisp up the crackle so you place the pork crackle down in the pan. Do this for a bout 4-5 mins on a medium heat, always checking it to make sure its not burning.
I served my pork with some crunchy celeriac cubes, cauliflower and parmesan puree, a sauce i made from some apple cider, grain mustard and cream and finished with my braised beetroot compote.
enjoy

Hi @ch00fy, can you share with me the pre heat temperature and how long before putting the pork belly to braise. The 3 hours under what temperature? I have tried 3 times and not successful as the skin was tough and not crackling. Was advised to make sure the skin is very very dry, put lots of salt and use a fork to pierce holes. Yours look so delicious and definitely the skin is crackling by the look of it. Hope to hear from you.
Thanks @jackpot.
