Introduction
Getting ahead is the absolute best thing you can do with this recipe – cooking the pork the day before you need it means all the fats will have solidified so it’s easier to slice, and you’ll also get a much better flavour. As well as achieving incredible tenderness from the slow cook, you get crispy golden gnarliness from the roast on the day.

Ingredients
| 4 | fresh bay leaves |
|---|---|
| 1 heaped tsp each | smoked paprika, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground allspice |
| 1.5kg piece of | piece of boneless pork belly, skin off and reserved (see tip below) |
Essential kit
You will need: a pestle and mortar.
Method
Ask your butcher: To remove the pork skin in one piece, ready to roast.
On the day: Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Season the piece of pork skin with a pinch of salt and pepper, then lay on a baking tray and roast at the top of the oven for 1 hour, or until golden and crunchy. Transfer the pork belly to a board, slice 1cm thick, then lay across a large baking tray (reserving the tray of juices for my Black beans & cheese, page 72). Roast the pork for 30 minutes, or until crisp, sizzling and golden. Carefully drain off any fat from the crackling tray and save in a jar for tasty cooking another day, then snap up the crackling. Serve up at the table with all the sides, ready for taco building.
Veggie love: Scrub 1 butternut squash (1.2kg), carefully halve it lengthways and deseed, then slice 1cm thick and toss with the spice mixture. Roast in a tray on the bottom of the oven at 200ºC for 30 minutes, or until soft and golden.
