• Boil the kettle.
• Preheat oven to 240ºC/220ºC fan-forced.
• Place slow-cooked pork belly in a large bowl
and cover with boiling water. Using tongs,
remove pork carefully and pat dry using paper
towel (this step helps the crackling get crispy!)
• Using a sharp knife, score the skin in 1cm
intervals, without cutting into the flesh. Rub all
over with a generous pinch of salt.
• Place pork pieces, skin-side down, on a lined
oven tray. Roast until lightly browned,
15-20 minutes.
• Flip pork skin-side up. Heat the grill to high.
• Grill pork until skin is golden and crispy,
15-25 minutes.
TIP: Keep an eye on the pork when grilling, it can
burn fast!

• Meanwhile, re-boil the kettle.
• Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then
add a generous pinch of salt.
• Peel potato and cut into large chunks.
• Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat,
until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes.
Drain and return to the pan.
• Add the butter and milk to potato and
season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to
keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the
potato unpeeled.

• Finely chop apple.
• Trim ends of asparagus.
• Pick thyme leaves.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat
with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook apple, tossing
occasionally, until browned, 3-5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add onion
chutney, thyme, the water and chicken-style
stock powder. Stir to combine and simmer until
slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste
with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to
medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook asparagus until tender, 4-5 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl, season to taste and cover to
keep warm. Set aside.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat and cook
shredded cabbage mix, stirring, until softened,
2-3 minutes.
• Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a
splash of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until
softened, 4-5 minutes. Season to taste.

• In a medium heatproof bowl, combine gravy
granules and the boiling water (1/2 cup for
2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), whisking, until
smooth, 1 minute.

• Slice pork belly.
• Divide Bavarian crispy pork belly, asparagus,
creamy mash and braised cabbage between
plates. Spoon over apple sauce and gravy.
• Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
