Ingredients:
- 1.8kg middle cut pork belly
- 3 oranges
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced finely
- 50 ml olive oil
Method:
- Lightly score the skin of your pork belly into 1/2cm strips with a knife, ensuring you don’t cut too deep through the fat and into the meat.
- Zest the orange into a bowl, then add the salt, sugar, pepper and minced garlic, and stir to combine.
- Flip the pork belly flesh side up, and massage the orange rub into the meat.
- Place the belly skin side up on top of a large square of foil. Fold the sides of the foil in to enclose the belly to form a snug foil tray.
- Place the belly into the basket of the air fryer, skin side up and dab any excess oil from the skin, then scatter extra salt over the skin.
- Select Roast and set the temperature to 145C and time to 1 hours.
- When the hour has finished, pinch the foil closer around the belly as the meat will have shrunk.
- Select Roast again and set the temperature to 155C and time to 30minutes.
- Once the belly has finished roasting, remove from the foil tray and place back intot the basket, skin side up on the grill tray.
- Select Air Fry and set the time to 35minutes and temperature to 205C. There is no need to preheat.
- Check the belly after 20minutes and cook until the crackling puffs and bubbles.
- Let the belly rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.
