Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Crush the fennel seeds and mix with the rosemary, garlic, lemon zest and olive oil to make a paste.

  2. 2

    Rub the paste over the pork belly slices, working it into any scored fat.

  3. 3

    Scatter the baby new potatoes and fennel bulb over a large roasting tray, season, and place the pork belly slices on top.

  4. 4

    Roast for 45-50 minutes, turning the pork halfway through, until the pork is cooked through with no pink remaining and the potatoes are tender.

  5. 5

    Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
