Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.

  2. Place the pork on a clean work surface and pat the rind bone dry with paper towel. Using a sharp knife, score the skin and fat without cutting into the meat.

  3. Whisk together the salt, five spice and pepper, and rub the mixture over the skin and meat.

  4. Place the pork belly on a wire rack set on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C and roast for a further 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and cooked through and the skin is crisp.

  5. Rest the pork belly, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then cut into thick slices and serve with the salad, potatoes and apple sauce.
