BBQ pork belly: cook's tips:

  • Pork belly slices are great to cook on the barbecue, and precooking means you just need to concentrate on charring them, rather than cooking them through
  • Stuff the pork belly slices into bread rolls with coleslaw and mustard, or serve instead of ribs at your next barbecue
  • Keeps for up to three days – reheat in the air-fryer or oven

Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt. Put the pork belly slices in a baking dish where they fit snugly. Pour over the sauce, toss and cover with foil. Roast for 2 hrs until very soft and tender. You can also do this in slow cooker on high.

  • step 2

    Remove the pork belly from the sauce and transfer the sauce to a small pan. Simmer for 4-5 mins or until reduced by half and thickened.

  • step 3

    Heat the barbecue and wait until the coals turn white and the flames die down. Add the pork belly slices to the barbecue (or under the grill on a foil-lined tray) for 4-5 mins on each side, brushing with the reserved glaze during cooking.
