Ingredients

1 kg (approx) pork belly (1 large piece, skin scored) (2.2lb)
1 cup bone broth
1-2 cloves garlic (optional)
salt & pepper

Instructions

Place the bone broth and whole garlic cloves in the bottom of your slow cooker bowl. The garlic cloves are just for flavouring the meat while cooking and are optional
Liberally season the underside of the pork belly with salt and pepper and then place in the slow cooker skin side up. You want to make sure the pork belly is not completely submerged in the liquid, just about 3/4 of the way up the side. This will depend on the size and shape of your pork belly and slow cooker
Cook on the low setting for 4 hours or until the pork belly meat is very tender and nearly falling apart
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F
Carefully remove the pork belly from the slow cooker and place in a shallow baking dish or rimmed baking try skin side up
Dry the skin well with a paper towel and then season liberally with salt
Bake in the oven for 45-60mins or until the skin is golden brown and crispy all over
Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil for 5-10 mins to rest
Slice and serve
