I've this idiosyncratic habit of keeping handwritten letters, dried leaves as a bookmark and old flowers inside my books. I think it keeps them lively.

Honey and Herb Roast Pork Belly

On a cold day, this beautifully crispy, generously fatty and deliciously flavourful Honey and Herb Roast Pork Belly makes a splendid lunch! It's a cheap cut of meat, too! Happy Thursday!

Ingredients (serves 3):

1 onion

800 grams/1.75 pork belly

1 large garlic clove, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup water

1 heaped tablespoon pure honey

Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.

Peel onion and cut it into thin slices. Scatter onion slices at the bottom of a roasting tin.

Using a sharp knife, remove the thick pig skin from the pork belly, so you are left with a layer of fat. With the knife, score the fat in a criss-cross manner.

Combine minced garlic, dried thyme and oregano, fleur de sel and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir in olive oil until well-blended. Generously rub oil and herb mixture all over the pork belly.

Sit pork belly, fat-side up, onto the onion slices, and pour water at the bottom of the tin.

Place roasting tin into the hot oven, and roast, at 200°C/395°F, for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown on top.

Generously brush pork belly all over with honey, and return to the hot oven.

Roast, at 200°C/395°F, for another 10 minutes.

Serve Honey and Herb Roast Pork Belly hot, cut into thick slices, with flageolets or broad beans.
