Roasted pork belly with succulent, juicy flesh of meat and a crunchy crackling gets a real boost with a chilli garlice caramel sauce prepared with xylitol instead of sugar. The sauce can be prepared a few days ahead, cover and chill. For a well rounded meal, serve with an extra portion of leafy greens.

 
  • 150 g Xylitol
  • 2 tablespoon Water
  • 2 Large red chillies, deseeded and chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 100 ml White wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Thai fish sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp Salt (I used Kala Namak)
  • 1.2 kg Pork belly, skin pricked
  • A handful of mint leaves or chopped chives, to serve
  • 1 Small white radish, peeled into ribbons, to serve
  1. In a small pan, heat the sugar with water. When it turns a caramel colour, take off the heat. Add the chillies and garlic, let sizzle briefly. Stir in the vinegar over a medium heat for 2 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the fish sauce and lime juice. Set aside to cool.
  2. Using a meat tenderizer, a metal skewer, or an ice pic, poke as many holes as you can in the pork skin, being careful not to go too deep and puncture the meat.
  3. Preheat the oven to 220C/430F. Rub the salt into the skin of the pork. Place the pork on a rack in a roasting pan, skin-side up, then pour in enough water to fill the pan to just under the rack. Cook for 1½-2 hours until the meat is tender and the skin crispy, topping up with water as necessary. If the skin's getting too dark, turn the oven down to 200C/400F. Remove and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Place radish ribbons in a bowl and sprinkle some salt over. Set aside for 10 minutes. Rinse under the running water and squeeze out the excess water.
  5. Put the pork skin-side down and cut into bite-sized cubes. Thread on to skewers and arrange on a platter with the mint and radish ribbons. Drizzle over some of the caramel sauce, serve the rest on the side.

  1. No tengo costumbre de consumir panceta, pero ciertamente la que has preparado tan crujiente y dorada, acompañada de esa salsa agridulce, la probaría con sumo gusto.

  19. Hi Angie, We both love pork belly but we would have never thought to pair it with such an exotic sauce. Looks and sounds great! FYI...you never or rarely go out to eat. In contrast we eat out or eat semi-prepared food at least twice a week. Perhaps not the healthiest but we're too lazy in retirement to prep complex meals or treats at home. Differences make the world go round... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
