Instructions to make Roast Pork Belly with Crackling:

- Chop 2 onions into quarters and 1 garlic head in half horizontally. Lay them on the base of the baking dish skin side facing up. You do not need to remove any skins.
- Place the pork on top of the onions and garlic and place the dish into your preheated oven for 45 minutes- 1 hour.
- Take out the pork belly when it is crispy and golden. Then turn the oven down to 150°C.
- Place the pork belly onto a rack suspended above a tray so that the pork fat will drip down through the meat and into the tray. Leave it in the oven for 2-3 hours and let it cook slowly until the meat is soft and tender.
