Ingredients

• 1 kg boneless pork belly

• 1 tbsp sea salt flakes

• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 onion, sliced into 1cm rounds

• 1 lemon, sliced into 1cm rounds

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Using a small sharp knife, score the pork skin at 1 cm intervals.
3. Pat the skin dry with a paper towel. Rub the salt and oil into the skin and incisions.
4. Place the pork, skin-side down, on an oven tray and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes.
5. Remove the pork from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F).
6. Working quickly, arrange the onion and lemon on the oven tray next to the pork. Turn the pork over onto the onion and lemon. Roast for a further 20–30 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy and the meat is tender.
