This recipe is from the book Good Food New Zealand Style and I am posting it to go in the Spring 2009 Cook Book Swap Favourite Recipes... however, I would like to add it is actually Autumn in New Zealand ... or Fall as you would say in America! I have made this, and the pork was meltingly tender and very flavourful. I really loved it.
Ingredients:
2 -3 kg pork belly
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 potatoes
1/4 cup cream
25 g butter
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Place Pork skin side up in a large roasting dish.
2. Pour the Sauces over the top.
3. Sprinkle Brown Sugar Over.
4. Half fill roasting dish with water.
5. Cover with foil.
6. Bake in the oven 300F for 3 - 4 hours until melt-in-the mouth tender.
7. Cook potatoes, drain then dry over heat.
8. Mash with cream and butter.
9. Steam some seasonal green veges till just done.
10. Divide mash between 4 plates.
11. Cut Pork into serving chunks and arrange over top with some of the cooking liquid.
12. Garnish with green vegetables.
