Sticky skewered pork belly served with a Mediterranean spread
Spoil the family with golden, caramelised pork belly skewers, brushed with a honey mustard glaze and roasted until sticky and tender.
Sticky, golden and full of flavour, these skewered pork belly pieces make an easy meal feel a little more special. Because the skewers are already marinated, most of the prep is done before you even start. Roast them low and slow until the fat softens and the edges turn caramelised, then brush over a quick honey-and-mustard glaze near the end for that glossy, sticky finish. Serve them with a fresh Mediterranean-style spread of hummus, olives, warm flatbread, tomato and cucumber salad, and a spoonful of tzatziki on the side. Recipe compliments of Eskort.
