Recipe

Serves 4 · Total 60m

Ingredients

• 1kg piece of pork belly, air-dried uncovered in the fridge overnight for best results
• vegetable oil, for brushing
• 1 tsp salt flakes
• Bread rolls, to serve

Chilli sauce

• 5 long red chillies
• ½ head garlic
• 1 x 3 cm pieces of ginger, chopped
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 100ml extra virgin olive oil

Method

1. Season the chilli and garlic with a small amount of oil and a pinch of salt. Place the chillies and garlic in the air fryer and roast at 180°C for 15 minutes or until blistered. Remove and place bowl and cover to cool.
2. Brush pork with a little oil and season with salt. Set the air fryer 200°C. Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 25 - 30 minutes. Once the crackling is crisp, reduce the heat to 160°C and cook for a further 20 - 30 minutes. Rest pork for 5-10 minutes.
3. To finish the sauce, cut the chillies in half and scoop out the seeds. Place chilli flesh into a blender. Squeeze out garlic and add to blender along with the other ingredients and a good pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
4. Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces and serve with sauce. Or add to a bread roll with mayonnaise and a generous dollop chilli sauce.
