Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg pork belly 
  •  rosemary 
  • tsp sea salt 
  • 10  peppercorns black
  • servings broccoli steamed
  • 750 celery root cubed
  • large potatoes cubed
  •  pears ripe cubed peeled
  • tbsp double cream 
  • large knob butter 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • oven
  • mortar and pestle
  • potato ricer

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas
  2. Take the pork out of the fridge and pat the skin dry.
  3. Put the rosemary leaves, salt and pepper in a mini chopper and grind together (or do this with a mortar and pestle). Rub the rosemary salt all over the pork, making sure it gets into the cuts in the skin. Sit the pork in a large roasting tin, ideally on a rack, and roast for 30 mins.
  4. Reduce heat to 170C/150 fan/gas 3 and roast for 1 hrs more. Turn oven back up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and roast for 20-30 mins to crisp. Leave to rest on a board for 10 mins before carving.
  5. When the pork is nearly ready to come out, put the celeriac and potato in a large pan of water, bring to the boil and cook for 10 mins until just tender.
  6. Add the pears and cook for 2 mins more.
  7. Drain well, then mash until smooth a mouli or potato ricer does this job best. Beat in a splash of cream and some butter, and serve with the pork and broccoli.
