Step 1

Place the bone broth and whole garlic cloves in the bottom of your slow cooker bowl. The garlic cloves are just for flavouring the meat while cooking and are optional

Step 2

Liberally season the underside of the pork belly with salt and pepper and then place in the slow cooker skin side up. You want to make sure the pork belly is not completely submerged in the liquid, just about 3/4 of the way up the side. This will depend on the size and shape of your pork belly and slow cooker

Cook on the low setting for 4 hours or until the pork belly meat is very tender and nearly falling apart

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F

Step 5

Carefully remove the pork belly from the slow cooker and place in a shallow baking dish or rimmed baking try skin side up

Step 6

Dry the skin well with a paper towel and then season liberally with salt

Step 7

Bake in the oven for 45-60mins or until the skin is golden brown and crispy all over

Step 8

Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil for 5-10 mins to rest

Step 9

Slice and serve
