Roast Pork Belly with Sauerkraut
This a dish my mother has been making us for years, we absolutely love the combination of pork and sauerkraut.
This I love as after a little prep work, it cooks itself and leaves you free to do other things.
Simple, delicious, and something you should try soon.

Cover the sauerkraut loosely with aluminium foil, do not cover the meat.
Bake for 2-2.5 hours. Every ½ hour, remove the foil, add a little water to the sauerkraut, about 1/4 cup, mix well, recover, this is so it does not dry out while roasting.
Once baked, if you crackling isn't quite perfect, you can turn on the grill for a few minutes to help this along, if it is, slice and serve with the sauerkraut.
Enjoy!
