Roasted Pork Belly with Fennel Seeds

Roast pork with fennel seeds is one of those magical combinations, and our customers adore it. Pork belly is an underestimated cut – it is cheap to buy and when cooked well can be exquisite, but you can use pork loin if you prefer. Ask your butcher to score the skin of the belly, or do it yourself with a Stanley knife (the cuts should be no more than 1cm apart and be deep enough to cut through the rind to form crackling).
