gravy

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: store-bought sauce

Vegetable broth is lighter and can be made from scraps.

Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern.

Rub salt and black pepper into the scored skin and meat.

Sprinkle caraway seeds and crushed garlic over the pork.

Place the pork belly in a roasting pan, skin side up.

Add chopped onion and bay leaves around the pork.

Pour water into the pan, covering the bottom without touching the skin.

Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 1 hour.

Reduce the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and roast for another 2-3 hours until tender.

Increase the oven temperature to 240°C (464°F) for the last 20-30 minutes to crisp the skin.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Serve with boiled potatoes, red cabbage, gravy, apple sauce, and mustard.
