Cook Time: 1 hr Servings: 1 pork roast Source:

Ingredients

2 teaspoons fennel seeds

2 teaspoons sea salt flakes

2 teaspoons dried chilli flakes

2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind

2 teaspoons cloves garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 kilograms piece boneless pork belly, rind scored

to serve: extra sea salt flakes, roast potatoes and roast shallots

Directions

Preheat a 7-litre air fryer to 180°C/350°F for 3 minutes.

Place fennel seeds, salt and chilli flakes in a mortar and pestle; crush lightly. Add lemon rind, garlic and oil; pound to combine. Pat pork belly rind dry with paper towel. Rub fennel mixture all over pork.

Taking care, place pork, skin-side up, in the air fryer basket. Reset the temperature to 200°C/400°F; cook for 25 minutes until skin crackles.

Reset the temperature to 160°C/325°F; cook pork for a further 25 minutes until tender or an internal temperature of 70°C–75°C/158°F–167°F is reached on a meat thermometer. (If pork is overbrowning, cover with foil.)

Thickly slice pork and sprinkle with extra salt flakes; serve with any cooking juices from the bottom of the air fryer pan, roast potatoes and roast shallots.
