I picked up a beautiful slab of meaty belly pork at The Ginger pig at Greensmiths, belly pork is one my favourite cuts of meat. There is a fair amount of fat and would probably not be a wise choice on regular basis, but I was on holiday after all.
I made a rub with malden salt and fresh time, by mixing together in a pestle and mortar.
I rubbed that in to the skin, which the butcher had scored for me.
I rubbed a little olive oil in as well in order to make the salt and thyme mixture stick. Under the meat I put one onion thickly slice. Then I placed in a really hot oven for 15 minutes until the skin crisped up, and then turned down to 350 for 2 hours.
While the pork was resting, I added a tablespoon of flour to the roasting tin and then a cup of white wine and cooked down to produce a rich dark gravy.
Pork crackling cravings met. This belly pork was still on the bones and when I lifted the meat off, we were left with delicious pork ribs!
