Pork Belly Roast by Zola Nene

Description

Looking for a super simple recipe to make the juiciest pork with a crispy skin? Make this Pork Belly Roast recipe by Zola Nene for your family tonight. It’s proof that the perfect pork main DOES exist – and it starts with a quality cut.

 

Zola recommends using our locally sourced Farmstead Pork. Each cut is versatile, full of flavour and hand-trimmed by our expert butchers. You can even have it rolled in-store for the ultimate convenience. The secret behind its juicy centre is roasting your cut according to its weight.

 

Once you’ve mastered this technique, experiment with herbs and flavours to wow dinner guests every time they try it. Whichever flavour combination you choose for your Pork Belly Roast, you’ll find all the ingredients at your nearest Checkers store, and on Sixty60 for delivery to your door.

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 220°C.

2. Dry the pork belly roast thoroughly using kitchen paper.

3. Combine the salt, aniseed and chilli, then sprinkle all over the skin of the pork. Reserve a pinch of seasoning for the onions.

4. Place pork into a roasting dish along with the onions. Season the onions with the reserved seasoning, add the rosemary, then drizzle olive oil over just the onions.

5. Place into the oven to roast at 220°C for 30 minutes.

6. Turn the oven temperature down to 180°C, add a splash of water to the roasting dish, then roast for 30 minutes per 500g. (Note: An 800g roast will cook for 48 minutes.)

7. Remove from the oven and cover the pork loosely with foil. Leave to rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

8. Use onions and pan juices to make a gravy, or serve onions alongside the pork as is.
