This is my version of a crispy roast pork belly. It has the perfect crispy crackling and it's really easy to make. First, get a good piece of organic pork belly. Have your butcher score the skin, but, not go all the way through so that you get a better crackling. Then, do a salt-rub onto the meat, either use your favorite salt-rub recipe or you can try mine. My salt-rub consists of coarse salt, chili flakes, caraway seeds, and lots of black peppers. Allow the meat to absorb all the wonderful flavors of the salt-rub by leaving it in the fridge overnight. Before roasting it the next day, do rub some oil and remainder salt-rub onto the skin. Roast the pork in moderate temperature to ensure it's cooked thoroughly and crank the heat high when it's almost done to get the crackling really crispy. That's all to it! Enjoy! Crispy Roast Pork Belly Ingredients 1 Pc (about 1.3 kg) Organic Boneless Pork Belly, skin scored (ask your butcher to do this) Olive Oil (about 2
