The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Don't know what to do with a piece of pork belly? I recommend trying this roasted pork with garlic recipe. Minimal effort, yet the meat turns out incredibly aromatic and delicious. Serve the dish hot.

Step 1
The recipe is a bit complicated, but it's worth it. First, pour boiling water over the part of the pork belly with the skin. Pour thoroughly, evenly covering the entire skin surface. Then, dry the skin completely and, using a sharp knife (a dull knife won't work), make shallow cuts on the skin, as shown in the photo (crosswise cuts, spaced one centimeter apart).

Step 2
Generously salt and let sit for half an hour at room temperature. If you're preparing it in summer, it's better to place it in a cooler spot (do not leave in the heat).

Step 3
After half an hour, stuff the pork with finely chopped garlic. Be sure to insert the chopped garlic thoroughly into the slits, but also distribute it well over the surface. Don't skimp on the garlic—it should be plenty.

Step 5
Wrap the pork in foil and leave it for a couple of hours in a cool place. The pork should absorb the garlic aroma.

Step 6
After a few hours, remove the pork from the foil, place it on a baking sheet, sprinkle with black pepper on top, and lightly spray with oil (to prevent the skin from burning). Yes, place it skin-side up.

Bake as follows: first for 30 minutes at 230 degrees, then for another 50 minutes at 200 degrees. That's it—after this time has elapsed, the roasted pork with garlic will be ready.
