Deliveries 18th February

Good morning!
This was last night’s tea – absolutely delicious and Martin’s favourite! Simple roast belly pork with a bit of thyme and garlic served with potatoes cooked around the meat and a dressed green salad. Or why not make a fantastic gravy with the juices from the pan? It was so good that we have decided to include a piece of belly pork for you to roast in next week’s meat pack! Delicious hot or cold!

Cooking Belly Pork – If possible, leave the meat in your fridge uncovered overnight to dry out the skin before cooking. When ready to cook, salt the skin really well and I usually start it off at 220 for half an hour then reduce it to 170 for a couple of hours, but keep an eye on it. If the skin isn’t crackled enough then turn the heat back up at the end  to crisp it up. Alternatively see https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/videos/techniques/how-roast-pork-belly-video for tips! You must make sure that the fat has rendered down and the meat is tender. Enjoy! x
