Instructions
Rub the Pork Belly Roll with the Delish Braai Rub
Clean and roughly chop the carrots and onion
Place the roasting pan on the stove top and turn the heat on medium, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan
Fry the onions and carrots together with the rosemary and pepper to taste till onions turn clear. Add the garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.
Place the pork belly roll into the pan and render the fat on all the sides
Pour the cup of wine into the pan and boil off
Add the stock and warm water, make sure the stock is completely dissolved
Cover the pan with the foil and place in a preheated oven of 160°C for 4 hours
Let the meat rest before cutting, if you don't let it rest it will pull apart as ours did, we were in a bit of a rush to eat! It smelled too good
While the meat is resting, pour all the juices and veggies from the pan into a small saucepan and reduce till you have the desired thickness for your gravy
Notes
If you don't want to cook with alcohol you can replace the wine with more water or half water, half apple juice.
