I am cooking in a real kitchen with real food that I eat for lunch everyday…
Sometimes my food looks horrible….
..and sometimes, it looks a lot more horrible than horrible.
Does this roasted pork belly look horrible to you?
I think it does, too…
But when I think about the aroma of garlic and sage….
the crispy skin….
and the brown butter sauce….
..then, it’s not so horrible anymore…
pork belly fat is comforting…hee.
I am now having a love♥affair with Sage….
Don’t get jealous peanutbutter♥, it’ll end as soon as I’m done cooking the rest of it the in the fridge….
Sage Roasted Pork Belly
{recipe adapted from Seasons by Donna Hay cookbook}
Ingredients:
7 cloves garlic, chopped
500-750 kg pork belly,whole
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp salt
a bunch of sage
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 160°C .
- Arrange the garlic over the base of a baking pan.
- Rub the olive oil all over the pork belly and rub the salt into the skin. Place skin-side down on top of the garlic and cook for 2 hours.
- Increase the heat to 180°C . Turn over the pork.
- Add the sage and cook for a further 30 minutes or until the skin is golden and crunchy.
♥I made a brown butter and sage sauce too. You know how I love sauce in everything!
Ingredients:
3 tbsp butter
8 sage leaves
pinch of salt
- Just place the butter,salt and sage in a saucepan over low heat and allow the butter to simmer until a golden brown colour. It’s a great dipping sauce for this roasted pork belly.

BTW, I just want to thank Season with Spice for featuring my Homemade Pumpkin Spice in their site.
Season with Spice has inspired me to use a lot more herbs and spices in my cooking.
well for me it does not look horrible for i want my roast well done, the pork skin looks very crispy, and you are right with sage, i also use that herb in my cooking, i would suggest try rosemary when you cook roasted lamb chops sis 🙂 Ykaie will love it surely 🙂
