Belly pork ideas

[haaammit]

I may have over catered for Christmas day - I got a piece of belly pork from my butcher today with a view to having it on the big day. There's only the two of us (plus our 20 month girl) and the bit of meat weighs 2kg (didn't cost me anything though )

Now - I seriously love pork, and could almost eat the whole thing by myself in one sitting , but anyway....

What is the best way to cook it - I was thinking 30 mins at max temp, then an hour or so at 180 ish? Put the meat on a grid so it doesn't sit in the rendered fat. Do you have any other recipes/cooking ideas? I was thinking about serving roast spuds and parsnip and steamed carrots.

Cheers

A lot long than 90 mins. Also doing pork belly.

3k though but for like ~6-12, silly people haven't confirmed yet

I hate it when people don't say yay or nay

It's quite a thin piece of meat which is why I thought that 90 odd minutes should be ok

How long and how thick is yours (joint of belly pork )?
/edit - missed your edit - still - how thick and long?

Its a freezer shelf size and the usuall thickness. Litterlay could replace the freezer rack with it.
Regardless of size I would still got 2-3hrs.

I've been looking at

The sauce in the last one sounds good,

They all basically the same ~3 hours between 160-180 and if needed whack temp right up for last ~20mins if crackling isn't ready.

Brilliant - cheers for linking those - I'm waaaaay off with my timings/temps - cheers buddy. Those roasts look divine /drool/
