Golden brown and crispy, with juicy tender meat– roast pork belly is hard to beat! If you find your crackling is letting you down and not providing the crispy flavour you desire, then these simple steps are sure to lead to success.

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Fill the kettle and bring it to the boil. Using a sharp knife, score your pork skin and fat, then place on a rack in the sink. Pour the boiling water all over the top of the meat.
2. Use a towel to thoroughly dry your pork, then rub the meat liberally with olive oil and massage sea salt deep into the skin.
3. Now place your pork into a baking dish and place into very hot oven. After 30 minutes, reduce the temperature to 160°C and continue cooking until the pork is done, approximately 1½ hours.
   1. We recommend cooking your pork until the internal temperature reaches 65°C / 145°F (with a light pink center) followed by a 3-minute rest time.
4. Remove the pork belly from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Do not cover it in foil or you’ll trap the steam from the meat and the crackling will lose its crunch. To easily carve the pork belly, flip the roast over and using a sharp knife cut it into thick slices.

It’s also possible to roast or BBQ a whole pork belly, this can take some time but the result is worth the wait! Another idea is to take a pork belly and cover with herbs and spices, roll up and cook like Italian roast pork (porchetta). Whatever your method, it’s important to select high quality Scan pork from Nordic farmers. Enjoy!
