Woolies patties topped with gouda and eggs. Used water to steam the cheese, added a bit much so reduced what was left in the pan (marinade etc.) and put that on top as a sauce. Leftover stir fry.

What did you baste the skin with?

Well first I had to cut through the skin, good lord pig skin is tough. Used a bread knife and went at it like sawing through wood :)

The took some coarse salt, ground black pepper and yellow sugar. Rubbed it nice and toight into the cuts as well. Rubbed it with some olive oil, and sprinkled some more sugar on it. The other side was just salt and pepper.

That yellow sugar gave the crackling a nice sweet taste.

Rather use a good quality chef's knife if you want to make clean slices through.

Sounds awesome. I made pork belly on New Year's eve. Can't remember what I used now but it involved honey and lemon. It can be one of the nicest cuts of meat if slow cooked properly.
wheres the chips ..or is the camera deceiving me
They'd already been eaten by then :D

My normally sharp pink chef knife only made a dent. I needed something serrated. Next time I'll buy the pork belly from the butchery, and let them cut the skin of for me. The piece I bought from Pick n Pay had some nipples on it as well which I had to cut away for in case I start to puke :sick: that piece was pure fat.

You can also make holes in it. There's an Asian recipe which calls for tons and tons of needle pricks in it.
