I made this on Christmas Day and it went down a treat, no leftovers!! Given it was Christmas Day I was very nervous not to burn it, but next time I think I will leave it to crisp up a bit longer. I also sprinkled the festive spicy salt on top of turkish bread before it went in for baking, which was also delicious served with soft cheeses  :D

Hi all,

Can someone who has made this dish please clarify something for me?

The instructions say to use oven with grill.  I gather this means you are meant to have the oven in grill mode rather than convection mode?  The instructions are a bit unclear & I'd hate to burn it!

Hi Asha,

Yes use the grill mode so that you get crispy crackling…good luck.

Thanks Tenina,

I actually assumed this was the case and cooked this dish on New Year's Eve.

Unfortunately the crackling got a tiny bit burnt (only cause my oven is so efficient) but it was only a bit around the edges and certainly not enough to spoil the dish at all.

Everyone raved about it so we'll definitely be making this one again.

Thanks for a great recipe :)

Made this today using 1kg pork belly.  Absolutely loved it, except I was over zealous and used more of the Festive salt than I think I should have.  It was a tad salty but that is my fault. not the recipe's!

I served with roast potatoes, steamed broccoli and carrots and a drizzle of the sauce.  Really enjoyed it.  The crackling was wonderful.  ;D

I copied Wonder today and made this cos she was making it for dinner tonight. I think  I've never made it before because I've looked at the pork belly and seen all the fat and thought there's not enough meat there for a meal. Boy was I wrong. It is DIVINE. Everyone raved how nice and moist the meat was..."definitely restaurant quality" got mentioned a few times. The crackling is just 10/10.  The wine I used was one on special for $5 which worked out well cos it uses a lot so I didn't cry. Steamed veggies and forbidden rice to accompany with the sauce and we had a match made in heaven.  Thanks Tenina (a lot) cos I've never cooked pork before. Well maybe once or twice, but I've forgotten  until now.  :-* 2kgs would feed 6 people easily.

Made this 3 nights ago...the best pork belly we've had yet!!
The festive salt takes the crackling to another level.
