Pork belly
« on: January 08, 2011, 15:21 »
I have impulse bought some pork belly for tea tonight.  The only recipe I have uses fennel seeds as part of the seasoning, and thyme, fennel bulbs and garlic cloves underneath the meat.

I don't have any fennel so wondered what flavourings / accompaniments others used?

Just going to put the oven on now as it'll take a few hours to cook.

MMmmmmmmmmm.  8)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Read the new thread title "Pork Belly" and wondered if you might be referring to me!  :ohmy:

Retirement has meant more eating of sandwich crusts and I have been cutting down recently! Back into size 32" waist comfortably now.  ;)

Not much help with your question, Yorkie. Sorry.  :blush:

Cook it slowly as possible - someone may belt in to help.  :lol:

 :lol: :lol:

Delia says 20 mins plus 45 per pound, so for 2 lb 8oz I make that just over 2 hours' cooking.

Found some fennel seeds so used them with the garlic cloves and some chopped onions.  Let's see how it turns out!!

My son has become addicted to the stuff I get it everyweek but just pop mine in the oven with a bit of my home made apple chutney spread on it and a dash of sherry and roast it off  - hot in a sandwich you cant beat it.

Ooh, apple chutney, mmmmm.

Plan for next year (once I've done something chutney-like with all the apple windfalls in my garden!)
