Grilled Pork Belly & Plum Balsamic Sauce
with Kumara-Parmesan Mash & Hazelnut-Rosemary Crumb
Pork, mash and veggies, what a classic, but we bet you’ve never had it this way! A plum sauce combined with balsamic vinegar is a great contrast to the succulent roasted pork belly. Sprinkled over the hazelnut and rosemary crumb for an element of nutty fragrance to tie everything up with a very scrumptious bow.

Instructions
• Preheat grill to high. Using paper towel, pat dry slow-cooked pork belly and wipe to remove any excess fat. • Lightly score pork fat in a 1cm criss-cross pattern. Add a generous pinch of salt and rub over. • Place pork, fat-side up, on a foil-lined oven tray. Grill on top oven rack until fat is golden and crispy, 35-40 minutes. • Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
TIP: Keep an eye on your pork. You want it golden and crispy, but not burnt!
• When the pork has 25 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and a pinch of salt. • Peel kumara and cut into large chunks. • Cook kumara in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to saucepan. • Add the butter (for the mash), the milk, grated Parmesan cheese and season generously with salt, then mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, trim baby broccoli. Thinly slice white and light green parts of leek. Roughly chop roasted hazelnuts. • Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • Pick and finely chop rosemary leaves.
TIP: Run your fingers down the rosemary stalk to remove the leaves easily.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook baby broccoli until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add leek and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice. • Season to taste, transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with the butter (for the crumb), hazelnuts, rosemary and lemon zest. Cook, tossing, until foaming and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. • To a small heatproof bowl, add the balsamic glaze and plum sauce. Microwave in 10 second bursts until heated through.
• Slice grilled pork belly. • Divide kumara-Parmesan mash and greens between plates. Top with pork belly. • Top pork with plum balsamic sauce. Sprinkle over hazelnut-rosemary crumb to serve. Enjoy!
