  I am just starting out cooking and my husband was slightly scared when I told him what I was going to attempt... This recipe was absoloutely delicious and if you follow exactly as is states, you cant go wrong! The pork inside was lovely and tender and the crackling was so crispy and tasty on the outside! I made served with parmesan parsnip fries (another great bbc good food recipe) and suggested bay infused milk potatoes which neither myself or my husband were overly impressed with and I think next time would serve with dauphenoise or roast potatoes. There was so much pork left, the remainder I kept for pork and cranberry sandwiches and pork chinese stir fry.

  cooked for a party of 4 and everyone really enjoyed the meal. The Braised red cabbage with apple is fantastic and will definitely be making this again.

  The pork and red cabbage are both simple and delicious. So little effort - such great results. I bought a piece with ribs attached but wanted to portion the finished pork into long strips so needed to debone. Found a short and excellent instructional video. Search for Pork A: Middle Belly: Spare ribs. Bonus: now there's a rack of ribs in the freezer.

  Made this for Christmas dinner in South Korea. Luckily we have a Costco here where I can get this cut of meat. I couldn't find fresh thyme so I used rosemary and marinaded over night. I saved the second lemon and basted the roast a second time after 2.5 hours. I had a big roast so I cooked it an extra 45 min. Refer to the Jamie Oliver recipe on how to make gravy. This recipe was awesome! So juicy! Everyone was blown away. This is the first time I've ever cooked a roast. Thank you Matt for making me a hero at Christmas!

  I'd never cooked pork belly before and was dubious about cooking it, however, after using this recipe I'm a convert. It was easy to make, totally delicious, moist, crispy mmmmm, I'm making my mouth water just thinking about it. I'll definitely be doing pork belly again using this recipe, gorgeous!

  This recipe makes the most delicious belly pork you will ever taste, absolutely outstanding. I marinated the pork overnight. The meat was so flavoursome and juicy despite having been cooked for three hours and the crackling perfect. I also made the braised red cabbage with apple and served it with leek and potato mash, green beans and gravy. My mouth is watering just thinking about it and I can't wait to cook it again mm mm mm.

  This is amazing! I'm not a big fan of pork but this is so soft and juicy. I've made this twice in 2 weeks, the first time we had it with the suggested red cabbage and Bay potatoes then the second time I shredded it up and he had it with homemade coleslaw in tortilla wraps. I have to admit that both times I have been guilty of eating the leftovers later in the day. I would really recommend this recipe even for people who are not usually keen on pork. Oh and the crackling has been perfect both times!
