🔪 Preparation Steps:

1. Preheat Oven:
• Preheat your oven to 160°C, fan off if possible.

2. Score the Skin (Optional but helps crispiness):
• Lightly score the skin in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife (don’t cut into the meat).

3. Season the Meat:
• Rub the pork belly all over (especially the underside) with:
• Crushed garlic
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive oil or melted lard
• Herbs (if using)

4. Prepare the Roasting Tray:
• Place the sliced onions in a layer at the bottom of a roasting pan.
• Pour in the water or white wine.
• Lay the pork skin-side up on a rack over the onions (or directly on the onion bed if no rack).

5. Slow Roast:
• Roast at 160°C for about 2 hours.
• Baste with pan juices halfway through if desired.

6. Crisp the Skin:
• Increase oven temperature to 220°C for the final 20–30 minutes to crisp up the skin.
• Keep an eye on it — don’t let it burn!

7. Rest Before Serving:
• Remove from oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

🍽️ Serving Suggestion:
