Ingredients
4 servings
Crispy Pork Belly
Pork Belly, skin on800 g
Sea salt1.5 tsp
Black pepper0.5 tsp
Garlic powder1 tsp
Zesty Herb Dip
Olive oil60 ml
Apple Cider Vinegar30 ml
Fresh parsley, finely chopped0.25 cup

Method
Crispy Pork Belly
1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Pat the skin very dry with paper towels. Rub the pork belly all over with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring the seasoning gets into the scores.
2
Cook the Crispy Pork Belly: Place the pork belly, skin-side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (325°F) and continue roasting for another 60-90 minutes, or until the pork belly is tender and the skin is golden and crispy. Alternatively, pan-fry in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until skin is crispy, then reduce heat and cook through, flipping as needed. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into bite-sized chunks.
Zesty Herb Dip
3
While the pork belly rests, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
4
Arrange the crispy pork belly bites on a platter with the zesty herb dip on the side for dipping. Enjoy as a hand-held treat.
