• Score the skin of the pork belly in a criss-cross pattern using a sharp knife. Rub the sea salt into the pork skin, and set the meat aside for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Wipe the salt from the pork skin with a paper towel and dry well. Drizzle a large roasting pan with enough olive oil. Place the pork belly in the pan, skin-side down, and drizzle with additional olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sear the pork in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue roasting for another 1 1/2 hours. At this point, carefully turn the pork over and roast for another 20 minutes, or until the skin is crisp.
• Remove the pork from the oven, tent the meat loosely in foil and set it aside to rest for at least 15 minutes. Slice the pork belly and drizzle it with some caramel vinegar. Serve with steamed rice, Bok Choy, and freshly chopped red chile.

PORK CHOPS WITH SHERRY VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place a heavy saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Add the pork chop to the pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. The chops will turn golden brown as the natural sugars in the pork caramelize and create a nice crust. Turn the chops and sear on the second side for 1 minute. Transfer to the oven and cook to desired doneness. It should take about 10 to 12 minutes in the oven for the pork to be just cooked through and juicy.
• Remove the pork from the oven and place the pork chops on a plate to rest while you make the sauce. Loosely cover with foil. Remove the excess fat from the pan and return the pan to the burner. Turn the heat to medium high. Carefully deglaze the pan with the sherry vinegar and sherry and scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the veal stock and barbecue sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and whisk to combine. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and minced chives.
• Serve the pork with the sauce.

SALT & VINEGAR ROAST PORK WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• The day before roasting, mix the salt, sugar, vinegar, sage and thyme in a large mixing bowl, then roll the pork in the brine, cover and chill overnight, or for up to 24 hrs.
• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Tip the potatoes, garlic, onions and thyme into a large roasting tin and toss together with some cracked black pepper, then pack down with your hands and pour over the stock. Remove the pork from the fridge, pat dry with kitchen paper and sit it skin-side up in the middle of the potatoes. Roast for 4 hrs, pushing the potatoes down occasionally so they don't burn.
• If you're happy with the crackling, leave to rest for 15 mins. If not, sit the pork on a shallow roasting tray and turn the oven up to 220C/ 200C fan/gas 7 and roast for 20 mins more or until the skin is crisp, then leave to rest for 10 mins. Check your potatoes - if they are swimming in pork juices, pour some off. Carve the pork and serve with the potatoes, rhubarb compote and stir-fried cumin carrots.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large skillet, I use 12" skillet, pour enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Sweat the garlic and onion together, do not burn the garlic, it will become too nutty. Once the garlic and onion is cooked down, the onion is tranparent, remove from the oil and place in a 9X13 pan. I usually take the ground pepper and salt and mix them together so that coating the pork is easier. Take the pork out of the vacume sealed bag, rinse and pat dry. Take the salt and pepper and pat onto the pork, sear on all sides. After searing on all sides, place in the 9X13 pan on top of the garlic and onions. Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar, reduce and then pour over the pork, onions, and garlic. Place in middle rack for about 20-25 minutes until middle of pork is about medium well to well done.
• When serving, I slice the pork and then take the glaze and onion/garlic mixture and pour over the pork. It's delicious -- ENJOY.
