PORK BELLY PHYLLO BASKETS

“There are many ways to cook pork belly. Some love the outside crackling crispy and crunchy, but this recipe is for a soft and sticky belly. You can achieve a crispy crackling by raising the temperature of the oven to maximum for 10 minutes at the end of the cooking period. I don’t do this, though, because it often burns the sugar in the honey and the final product may come out bitter. The quantities given here should be read as a rough guide. The reason for this is that each pork belly is different in size, weight and amount of meat and fat. So use your discretion. I used to tie the pork belly (called trussing) with thick string, but if you fold the belly correctly you won’t need to do this. It’s a bit of a schlep to untie once the belly is cooked.”
