Pork belly slow cooked in apple, fennel and white wine
Pork belly has the most amazing flavour, it is fatty, I find trimming the top layer off helps take away the strong fatty flavours but it needs some fat left for slow cooking so it doesn?t end up dry.
800 grams pork belly
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 bulb fennel (if available) or 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
2 sprigs thyme
2 apples
1 cup white wine
1 cup beef or vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
Peel and slice the onion, crush the garlic, chop the apple and slice the fennel bulb and spread them over the bottom of the slow cooker with the thyme, fennel seed, wine, stock and bayleaf and a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the skin and the top layer of fat from the pork belly, you can salt and bake the skin in a hot oven to make crackle if you want. Put the pork meat in slow cooker and cook for about four hours or until it falls apart. When the pork is cooked, to make a sauce form the apples and juices left once the pork has been removed from the slow cooker, remove as much fat as possible from the apple and juices(put the whole lot in the refrigerator and remove the set fat if you have time) and thicken with 1 tablespoon of flour and add 1 cup of stock and simmer for about 6 minutes or until the flour is cooked and puree and season with salt and pepper.
To make the sauce in the thermomix add the onions, apples and juices from the slow cooker to the mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 cup of stock and cook 10 minutes/100/speed 1 and then puree 1 minute/...
