Crispy-Skin Pork Belly in Rich Garlic Stock
Slow-roasted pork belly with juicy, tender meat and perfectly crispy crackling.
⭐ Ingredients
1 whole pork belly
750 ml boiling water
3 chicken stock cubes
1 Tbsp BlixSam Garlic Melt Seasoning
1 Tbsp BlixSam Omni Spice All Purpose Seasoning
1 tsp BlixSam Grill Forge Steakhouse Seasoning
Oil (for rubbing the skin)
Fine salt (for the skin)
🔥 Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pork Belly
    Pat the pork belly skin completely dry with paper towel.
    Using a sharp knife, score the skin in neat lines, being careful not to cut into the meat.
    Rub a thin layer of oil over the skin and season generously with fine salt. This is the secret to crispy crackling.
  2. Make the Flavourful Stock
    Dissolve the chicken stock cubes in the 750 ml boiling water.
Stir in:
BlixSam Garlic Melt Seasoning
BlixSam Omni Spice All Purpose Seasoning
BlixSam Grill Forge Steakhouse Seasoning
Mix well until combined.
  1. Assemble
    Place the pork belly into a deep oven-safe dish, skin side up.
    Carefully pour the hot stock around the pork belly, ensuring the skin stays above the liquid while the meat remains submerged.
  2. First Roast
    Roast in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes.
    Remove from the oven and top up the stock if needed.
  3. Second Roast
    Return to the oven for another 30 minutes.
    Check the liquid level and top up if necessary, keeping the skin dry.
  4. Final Roast
    Roast for a final 30 minutes, or until the pork is fork-tender and the crackling is golden and crispy.
🧡 BlixSam Tips
For extra crispy crackling, switch the oven to grill for the last 5–10 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Rest the pork belly for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, roast vegetables, buttery cabbage, or a fresh salad.
✨ It's BlixSam's Lekker!
