 Slow Roasted Pork Belly with Chimichurri

Ingredients:​
  • 1kg-piece pork belly
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 bunch baby carrots, tops trimmed, scrubbed
  • Lemon wedges, to serve (optional)
  • chimichurri
  • 1 cup chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh coriander
  • 2 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • 1 long fresh red chilli, deseeded, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
Method:
  • Preheat the oven to 240C/220C fan forced. Place a roasting rack in a baking dish. Pour 1L (4 cups) water in the base of the roasting pan. Spray the rack with oil.
  • Use a very sharp knife to score the pork rind, about 1.5cm apart, in a criss-cross pattern. Sprinkle over the salt. Place on the greased rack. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the rind has started to crackle all over. Reduce the oven temperature to 160C/140C fan forced and roast for a further 11/2 hours or until the rind is crackled and golden, adding the carrots to the baking dish in the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
  • Meanwhile, for the chimichurri, process the parsley, coriander, oregano, chilli, garlic and half the oil in a food processor or blender until coarsely chopped. Add the remaining oil and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and season. Stir in the vinegar. Cover and set aside to develop the flavours.
  • Transfer the pork and wire rack to a baking tray. Set aside for 15 minutes to rest. Increase heat to 220C/200C fan forced and roast the carrots for a further 10-15 minutes or until all the water has evaporated and carrots are golden. Slice the pork and serve with the carrots, chimichurri and lemon wedges, if you like.

Sticky Chinese BBQ
Spare Ribs

​Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Chinese Shaoxing wine (rice vinegar or a dry sherry can be used instead)
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3/4 teaspoon red food colouring (optional for that beautiful red colour)
  • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 6 pork belly/spare ribs
  • 1 shallot , to garnish​
INSTRUCTIONS 
  • Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, wine, honey, sugar, garlic, colouring (if using) and spice powder in a shallow bowl. Whisk well to combine. Pour half of the sauce into a jug and reserve for later. Add the pork into the bowl with the remaining sauce. Rotate to cover completely and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours, or cover and refrigerate overnight for best results.
  • After marinading, preheat oven to grill/broil settings on medium heat (176°C | 350°F). Drain pork and discard the marinade. Line a baking pan with baking/parchment paper or aluminium foil. Place pork onto pan and grill/broil for 30 minutes on one side, basting two or three times with the reserved marinade. Rotate with tongs and baste again with the marinade twice again while grilling/broiling.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • If you like additional glaze, combine all of the (extra) glaze ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 5-8 minutes until the sauce has thickened (keep your eye on it as it can burn easily if the heat is too high). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Cut pork into thick slices to serve. Serve over steamed rice and/or vegetables with the extra glaze.
  • Additional Glaze: 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Chinese wine (Shaoxing -- or dry sherry)
  • 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red food colouring
