INGREDIENTS
160 grams lean trimmed Pork Belly
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Score the skin of the pork belly lightly and season generously with salt and pepper.
Place the pork belly in a heavy, oven-safe pot. Add a couple of sprigs each of rosemary and thyme over the top.
Cover the pot and braise the pork belly in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
While the pork is braising, preheat a separate oven tray to 400°F (200°C) for the root vegetables.
Peel the carrot and parsnip, then cut them into similar-sized sticks. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few leaves of rosemary and thyme.
Spread the vegetables on the baking tray in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Once the pork belly is tender, remove it from the braising liquid and slice into serving portions.
Plate a serving of sliced pork belly alongside a generous portion of roasted root vegetables, drizzling any remaining braising juices over the top if desired.
