Pork belly roast and mango chutney
Ingredients
Roast pork belly
Mango chutney
Preparation
In The Oven
Roast pork belly
- Place oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil and sauté onion until slightly browned. Add garlic and continue cooking for another minute. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
- Pour into a bowl and stir in remaining ingredients. Set aside.
- On a work surface, place belly fat side down. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat lengthwise so it opens in 2 like a book to make a large rectangle of meat of the same thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread onion mixture over meat.
- Roll belly tightly, starting from the shortest meat side so the fat surrounds the roast. Tiethe roast with twine every 2.5 cm (1 in.) and place in a large baking sheet or oven-safe roasting pain. Cut the roll in half if needed and place side by side. At this stage, you can refrigerate the roast overnight to let the meat absorb the flavours.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Reduce temperature to 160 °C (325 °F) and continue cooking for 3 hours and 30 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if needed.
- Let stand. Slice and serve with chutney.
