    you can always collect the melted fat in the pan - voila your own 'homemade' lard.

    Hi bolton,

    There's an earlier thread with lots of recipes for cooking pork belly that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

    In the slow cooker does the sauce/gravy not get very fatty?
    And if, you know, your history...

    And no, I'm not talking weightloss :rolleyes:

    I've got some nice chunky strips of belly pork in the freezer that I picked up cheap from the butchers a while back.

    I'll be wanting to use them up soon, but was fancying doing something different with them. I usually tend to just use it in a casserole, but I'm sure there must be other things to do with it!

    Does anyone have any tried and tested recipes? I have a slow cooker, oven, hob, all the usual stuff!

    Thanks xx
    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    I never experiment with Belly Pork at all - just love it plainly grilled (under a medium grill) for about 10-12 minutes either side and served with buttery mashed potatoes and cabbage :drool:.

    the best belly pork recipe i've followed and done time and time again, is marco pierre whites honey glazed with onion it is to die for!, i havent sussed the link thin yet but google and you shall find! ;)

    just to add i didnt use the star anise and all that fancy stuff, just follow the basic recipe with honey and you'll be well away!

    Mum always cooks it in the oven with chinese 5 spice powder which is easy and makes a nice change.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
