Slow roast belly of pork
Serves 6
2kg belly of pork, ask the buthcher to score the skin, leave bones in.
DON'T BUY THE MEAT FROM A SUPERMARKET, ITS NOT THE SAME :cry:
Prepare a marinade
Fennel seed
Cumin

Dried chilli
Put in a pestle & morter, grind up
Rub on the meat - NOT THE SKIN
Leave for a couple of hours, or the night before, better.
Pre-heat oven to 230c
Bring the meat to room temp
Use a roasting tray into which the meat fits snugly
