24 hours prior to cooking - take the pork belly out of the pack and score the skin 5mm - 10mm apart from one side to the other - this is very important that it’s done thoroughly then leave uncovered in fridge overnight
Take pork out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking and preheat oven to 250 degrees C fan forced
Cover top of the pork skin with a generous amount of salt really pushing salt into the score marks
Then cover generously in olive oil, again pushing the oil into the score marks
Then sprinkle another generous amount of salt then pour 2 cups of any stock into the bottom of the pan and place into hot oven for 30 minutes
After 30 min drop the temperature of the oven to 150 degrees C for 90 mins
After the 90 minutes crank the oven back to 250 degrees C again and cook for another 20 minutes
After these steps I guarantee the best pork belly with crackling you have ever eaten
