Spicy Marinated Pork Belly
Pork belly isn't exactly the lightest dish – besides the meat it contains a fair amount of fat, but that's what gives it its unmistakable flavour. In a spicy marinade with chilli, garlic and mustard, the meat absorbs plenty of flavour and after roasting it's tender and juicy. Marinating overnight gives the pork belly a rich taste, and then all you have to do is roast it until golden.
