Outdoor Reared Pork from The Barrie Brothers
A very exciting project was presented to us recently by a huge character fresh from your TV screens - Chef Ellis Barrie, who you will have seen starring on Great British Menu for the second year running. Ellis and his brothers, Liam and Conor, have created The Fat Pig Company - along with the other projects that run concurrently, namely their incredible Restaurant in Anglesey, Marram Grass and their new Kickstarter project The Cookery School.The energy, passion and enthusiasm that these lovely boys generate is completely infectious and within twenty minutes of showing Ellis around The Butchery here in Shropshire, we found ourselves agreeing to taking in firstly their their Tamworth Pigs and adding them to our website ......... WHAT?!!!!!! Yes, we did. And here you will find the results - our first batch of three piggies was aged for two weeks prior to butchering and freezing down, and we were delighted to launch this wonderful product for you to try just before Christmas! Perfect timing, really and it went down a storm!

Outdoor Reared Pork Belly Min.1kg
We couldn't wait to present you this iconic and increasingly popular cut - and we have some great tips for achieving that amazing crunchy crispy crackling that everyone loves!
1. Try placing the belly, skin side up, in the sink and pour boiling water over it (a kettle full). Then let it drain well and pat it completely dry before adding the rub.
2. Use a good oil to rub all over the skin, (which has already been scored for you) and then rub a nice sea salt well in, getting down into all the cracks. You can add fennel seeds too if you like fennel.
3. Get your oven nice and hot at about 220 Degrees C ...... and place the belly in a deep baking tin on top of roughly chopped vegetables such as fresh fennel, leeks and carrots. You need to place the belly in the oven at this temperature for about 15 - 20 minutes or until you see that crackling beginning to rise and bubble, going beautifully crisp.
4. Once that process has taken place you can turn the oven down to about 160 Degrees C and leave the belly in for at least another two hours. You can test to see if it is ready after that time by pulling it with a fork to see if it comes away easily.
The end result is sure to be fantastic and we just know you'll be a Food Hero in your own right after producing this dish for your friends and family! Learn More£10.85
