CHINESE SPICED PORK BELLY WITH PLUMS
This rich and fruity dish is a good way to make the most of tasty, but great-value pork, and is ideal for a weekend lunch with the family.
SERVES 6
PREP 5 MINS
COOK 3-6 HRS
INGREDIENTS:
1 Put the pork in a slow cooker with the cinnamon, star anise, five spice, plums, wine, orange juice and stock pot. Cook on low for 6 hrs/high for 3 hrs. Alternatively, put the ingredients into a casserole dish with a scrunched-up piece of wet baking paper inside the lid and cook in the oven on its lowest setting for 4-6 hrs.
2 Skim off the fat from the surface, add the Chinese greens so the stalks are immersed and allow to steam for 2-3 mins. Serve with rice or boiled potatoes.
COOK’S TIP Adding the Chinese greens at the end keeps them crisp and fresh, which acts as a counterbalance to the richness of the meat.
