# Slow-Roast Belly Of Pork.

1,800k

1. Preheat the oven 220C, gas mark 7. Roughly chop the sage and rosemary then, using a pestle and mortar, grind with the garlic and lemon juice and zest and seasoning to make a thick paste.
2. Cut the string off the pork and unroll the meat so that it is flat.
3. With a sharp knife, make incisions into the flesh before rubbing the paste into the incisions and over the flesh, taking care to avoid the skin. Transfer to a roasting tray and, ideally, sit it on a rack. Using a piece of kitchen paper, thoroughly dry the skin and season with a little salt – this is optional, but helps make crisper crackling.
4. Roast for 20 minutes then reduce the oven to 170C, gas mark 3 for a further 2 hours until the pork is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear. Leave to rest for 5 minutes then cut into chunks, and serve with steamed purple-sprouting broccoli and apple sauce.

Best damn way to cook pork. Bless Waitrose.

# Heh, it sure does have some pretty colours :D
Wow! Awesome!
I almost had my first nuke on Rundown t'other day.
Silenced M16, marathon + cold blooded + ninja
Harrier strike, gunner, just a few kills off a nuke - nobody was around in visible places :( It was only a regular team deathmatch.
Then I got knifed while trying to get the last few kills.

# I just want one.
Getting them all the time is just being a cunt I think.
Nicely! I'm addicted to hardcore - half of my classes are dedicated to it.
All of the weapons are silenced and they all have cold-blooded. Invisible ftw ^.^

# I might suggest adding a sprinkle of sugar along with the outer salt.
Or better brush with a mix of sunflower oil, salt and a few drops of honey.
Adds some flavour and colour to what can sometimes be a bit gray if it is
a really lean cut. Most pork here rarely gets very fatty, even in late spring.

Swoopy colours! Yay!

# Good Call!
But another good one is to brush the meat (not skin) with a thick soy, or Indonesian ketjap, gives a lovely colour and marinades as well.
Top results all round...

# A better use of belly of pork is to make delicious home cured bacon.
50:50 salt and brown sugar, with some herbs of your choosing mixed in. Rub a handful onto all the exposed surfaces of the meat once a day for about 7 days and keep it in a plastic box. Once a day, tip out all the moisture that has accumulated. Rinse off the excess salt, pat it down with a cloth and then hang it up somewhere cool for at least a week. You now have delicious pancetta (or "streaky bacon" as it's known over here, unless you are a supermarket wanting to add an extra 200% onto the price by making it sound forrin and exotic).
