INGREDIENTS

800g pork belly steak

Coarse salt

Pepper

Fennel fronds

Rosemary

Extra virgin olive oil

120ml (1/2 cup) white wine

120ml (1/2 cup) water

METHOD

1. Using a sharp knife with a smooth blade, score the rind in a diamond pattern.

2. Sprinkle the meat with coarse salt, pepper, fennel fronds, and rosemary. Rub well so the meat absorbs the herbs. Repeat the process on the underside.

3. Pour the extra virgin olive oil into a pan and place the meat inside. Brown the pork with the rind facing down.

4. Deglaze with the white wine, add the water, and cook with the lid on for 1 hour over low heat.

5. Transfer the pork belly to a rack set over a baking tray lined with parchment paper, with the rind facing upwards. Season again with fennel fronds and rosemary. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 90 minutes.

6. Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven, slice, serve, and enjoy.
