Lingster - and others - had a good recipe. Try the search of members' recipes.

Hi DD,
Here's my favourite way.
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 sprigs Rosemary, roughly chopped
2-3 tbsp Olive oil
450g piece pork belly, bones removed
salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 lemon, juice only
1. Preheat the oven to 160C/gas 2. Put the garlic and rosemary in a bowl and add the oil.
2. Mix everything together, bruising the garlic and rosemary with the side of a knife to release the flavours.
3. Lay the pork on a work surface, skin side down, and spread the mixture evenly over the pork. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Roll the meat up so that the herb and garlic mixture is inside, and tie with kitchen string to secure in place. Sprinkle the skin with salt and roast for 4 hours.
I'm sure others here have equally good recipes.

Thank you for replying! I have never roasted pork belly, always resort to the same method of throwing it in the slow cooker with oinions, garlic, wine, mustard, sage, dash of sugar, infact whatever else, cover with water, cook till meat is falling apart, and it tastes divine, but next tiem I will try your method!
