Directions
Preheat your oven to 180°C.
Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern taking care not to cut into the meat.
Rub sea salt and oil into the skin. Place the pork belly skin-side up on a rack over a roasting tin.
Roast in the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Increase the oven temperature to 230°C and cook for another 20-30 minutes to get a crispy, crackled top.
Once cooked, let the pork belly rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Thinly slice the fennel bulb and green apple.
Grate the carrot.
Mix all the vegetables in a bowl.
In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the sliced fruits and vegetables and toss them together.
Chill the slaw in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
To assemble, slice the pork belly and serve atop a generous helping of the fennel and apple slaw. Enjoy your crispy crackled pork belly with fennel and apple slaw!
