Ingredients

• Pork belly - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Iceberg lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Cabbage (shredded) - 1 cup
• Carrot (shredded) - 1/4 cup
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Dijon mustard - 1 teaspoon
• Chopped fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern and rub with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
3. Place the pork belly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and roast for 45-50 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
4. While the pork is cooking, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Mix well.
5. Once the pork belly is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
