Crispy Pork Belly with Apple-Fennel Slaw
Treat your holiday guests to the ultimate indulgence with a beautifully roasted pork belly featuring incredibly crispy, crackling skin and melt-in-your-mouth tender meat. The pork belly is rubbed with Chinese five-spice, garlic, and sea salt, then slow-roasted to allow the fat to render, finishing with a blast of high heat to puff the skin into golden, crunchy perfection. To balance the rich, decadent nature of the pork, it is served alongside a bright, refreshing slaw made of crisp Granny Smith apples, shaved fennel, fresh parsley, and a tangy lemon-mustard vinaigrette. This combination of textures and flavors is pure culinary harmony.
