Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pork belly roll in the oven? Prepare the necessary products. Thaw the meat in advance if necessary. You can use your own set of spices if you wish. Any ready-made dry seasoning mixtures for meat in the oven will do. You can replace garlic powder with garlic cloves. You can also replace white pepper with red or black ground pepper. Or use a mixture of peppers.

Step 2

Step 2
Clean the pork belly from all excess. I cut off the skin and cut out the bones. Wash the meat thoroughly and dry it with paper towels.

Step 3

Step 3
My pork belly looks like this after cleaning. That is, it is so thin that it is easy to roll it.

Step 4

Step 4
If you have fresh garlic, peel and chop it in any way convenient for you. In a separate bowl, combine prepared mustard, salt, nutmeg, white pepper, garlic powder (or minced garlic) and soy sauce. This is a marinade. Make cuts on the meat. And coat the pork well with the prepared marinade.

Step 5

Step 5
Turn the meat over to the other side and coat it with marinade on that side too. At this stage, you can add fresh chopped herbs to make the filling for the roll. I cooked without greens.

Step 6

Step 6
Roll the pork into a tight roll.

Step 7

Step 7
Tie the roll with twine as shown in the photo. This will help the roll not fall apart during baking and maintain the desired shape.

Step 8

Step 8
Wrap the roll in foil. Let it sit like this for about half an hour. Then place the roll in foil in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. And place in an oven preheated to 200C to bake for about 2 hours. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven. The weight of the meat also affects this. Mine weighs 2 kilos.

Step 9

Step 9
10 minutes before the end of baking, open the foil and continue baking the meat. You can keep it in the oven a little longer until the roll is browned. Check the readiness of the meat like this: pierce it in the middle with a sharp knife. If the juice comes out light, it’s ready! Bon appetit!
