It’s tricky roasting a smaller piece of meat, as it’s in danger of drying out. But, pork belly has a good layer of fat so is hard to mess up.

Instead of making mash, roast chunks of celeriac around the pork belly for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Rub the pork belly all over with salt and pepper. Put in a roasting tin and roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and roast for another 30 minutes. Add the apples and cider to the dish, turn the oven up to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and roast for another 30 minutes until the crackling is crisp.
step 2

While the pork is roasting, boil the celeriac and potatoes until tender. Drain well, then mash with a splash of milk and a knob of butter. Season. Serve the pork in slices with the mash and cabbage, topped with the apples and any roasting juices.
