Pork Belly Roll
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. My friend shared a simple pork belly roll recipe with me, and I simply can't get enough of this wonderful and, by the way, quite economical dish. In fact, such a roll is a versatile thing—you can not only put it on a sandwich, but also serve it as an appetizer for a festive table or as a main course for dinner. I've made pork belly roll at home more than once already, so this dish has been enjoyed not only by my family but also by our guests, and everyone without exception liked this roll.

Step 1
First, thoroughly rinse the pork belly and pat it dry. Then trim off half of the skin from the side that will be on the inside of the roll. Score the remaining skin in a diamond pattern, rub the pork belly on all sides with pressed garlic, and season with ground pepper and salt.

Step 2
Tightly roll the brisket into a roll, starting from the part without the skin, and tie the roll with string. Then wrap it in foil so there are no gaps or holes, and place the roll on a baking tray. Bake it in the oven for 2.5 hours at 170°C. At the very end, you can remove the foil and bake the roll for a couple of minutes without it to get a fragrant crust.
