INGREDIENTS
200g lean-trimmed pork belly, braised
100g carrot, sliced
50g parsnip, sliced
50g red onion, quartered
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp olive oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the pork belly by trimming excess fat. Season it lightly with salt and pepper.
If not pre-braised, slow braise the pork belly in a covered Dutch oven with a splash of water and a sprig of thyme at 300°F (150°C) for 2 to 2.5 hours until tender. Once finished, let it cool slightly and slice into serving portions.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables by tossing sliced carrots, parsnips, and red onion with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and crispy on the edges, stirring halfway through.
Plate a portion of the sliced pork belly alongside a generous serving of the roasted vegetables. Garnish with an extra thyme sprig if desired, and serve warm.
