Ingredients
1 Pork Belly, removed from packaging and left uncovered in the fridge for 2-3days
Sea Salt
1 head of Fennel. Cut into 8
3 Apples
½ cup Cream
2tbs butter
Method
Pre-heat an oven to 240deg c
Place the fennel on the bottom of a high sided tray. Lay the pork skin side up over the top of the fennel.
Place into the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes until the skin starts to bubble can crackle. Turn the oven down to 160deg c and cook for a further 45 minutes – 1 hour until the pork is cooked through. Remove from the oven and rest uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
In a saucepan add the apples, cream, butter and a pinch of salt, cook over a medium heat until the apples are falling apart.
Place in a blender and puree until smooth.
Serve the pork carved with apple sauce on the side.
