 2 kg pork belly

 2 tbsp white vinegar
Fruity summer slaw
 1/4 green cabbage shredded
 1/4 red cabbage shredded
 1 Carrot, julienned

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Drizzle pork belly with oil and white vinegar, then rub all over with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting tray. Cook for 25 mins, then turn the oven down to 180°C. Roast for 90 minutes or until cooked through. To check if the meat is cooked through, insert a skewer. It is cooked when the juices run clear. Transfer to a dish, then cover with foil to rest before serving

2

Blend the slaw dressing together until smooth. Set aside. In a large bowl toss slaw ingredients with dressing and garnish. Serve with the pork belly.

Tip: If the crackling isn’t as crispy as you like when finished cooking, heat the grill to high and grill the pork for a few mins until crisp. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn. Rubbing the pork belly with white vinegar will help it to go extra crispy.
