Prep time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 2,5 hrs
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 800g Pork Belly
- 2 Apples
- 150g Fennel
- 1 Lemon
- 2 Bunch Dutch Carrots
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Tbsp Caramelised Balsamic
- 1 Tbsp Seeded Mustard
- Salt and Pepper
- Olive oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Pat dry the pork belly and score the skin using a sharp knife.
- Season the pork belly all over with salt and sprinkle some pepper. Place it into the preheated oven and cook for 2 hours until the pork is golden brown.
- Meanwhile, finely slice the apples. Place them into a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Toss well and set aside in the fridge.
- Finely slice the fennel, place it into a bowl, and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent it from browning. Set aside in the fridge.
- Cut the grapes in half and set them aside.
- Remove the stalks from the carrots and pick a handful of the leaves for garnish. Place the leaves in a bowl with icy water. Drain before use.
- Wash the carrots and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with the caramelised balsamic, and drizzle with ½ tablespoon of honey.
- Toss well and place them into the oven 45 minutes before the pork is ready.
- Place the mustard into a bowl, squeeze the juice of ½ a lemon, add 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining ½ tablespoon of honey. Mix well using a whisk and set aside.
- Once the pork belly is ready, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Use the grill function in the oven for a couple of minutes to crisp the skin a little more if necessary.
- Mix all the salad components together and toss with the dressing. Remove the carrots from the oven and serve them on top of the salad.
- Portion the pork belly into similar sizes and serve it hot on top of the salad.
