Slow-roast five-spice pork belly

A lazy recipe where the wonderfully fatty belly melts with long, slow cooking, while the lentils and onions cook beneath. It’s a very forgiving process – you can turn the heat down a little and extend the cooking time to the working day or overnight, whatever suits. I quite like the lentils dryish, but you can always add a little more cider or water late on if you like, and/or stir through a spoonful of crème fraîche just before you serve.
