Cooking Steps

Roast the pork belly
1

• Preheat oven to 240ºC/220ºC fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Place the pork belly in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Using tongs, remove pork carefully and pat dry using paper towel. (This step helps the crackling get crispy!) • Using a sharp knife, score the skin in 1cm intervals, without cutting into the flesh. Rub all over with a generous pinch of salt. • Place pork pieces, skin-side down, on a lined oven tray. Roast until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. • Flip pork skin-side up. Heat the grill to high. Grill pork until skin is golden and crispy, 15-25 minutes. TIP: Keep an eye on the pork when grilling, it can burn fast!

Make the Parmesan mash
2

• When pork has 20 minutes remaining, • in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook chopped potato in the boiling water over high heat until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the butter and milk to potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Sprinkle over with diced bacon and grated Parmesan cheese. Cover to keep warm.

Toss the salad
3

• When potato has 5 minutes remaining, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • In a medium bowl, combine spinach, rocket & fennel mix, cucumber and mustard cider dressing, tossing to coat. • Season to taste.

Finish & serve
