Zanele’s Roast Pork Belly with Crackling

1. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature – preferably around 230ºC.

2. Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the pork diagonally with lines running 1-2cm apart.

3. Rub olive oil on belly. Season with salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for approximately 90 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

4. In a saucepan, melt sugar, then add sugar, vinegar, garlic, paprika, cumin and steak and chops spice.

5. Cook until it thickens to a syrupy consistency. 

6. Pour over pork belly and grill for another 20 minutes or until deeply brown and sticky.

For dessert, try an Easy Tiramisu or even our Peppermint Crisp Trifle .
