This pork dish is the same same, but different, Chef! You will still get your perfectly cooked, golden-brown pork belly but covered in a Savanna Neat, orange juice, dijon mustard & honey sauce. It’s basically like a whisky-flavoured OJ, but for your plate… Served with roasted cabbage & onion, a mayo drizzle and fresh coriander.

READY THE RICE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
OVEN ROASTED VEG
Spread the cabbage chunks and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub and season. Roast in the hot oven until slightly crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
SAVANNA ORANGE SAUCE
Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, add the grated garlic and chopped chipotles (to taste) and fry until fragrant, 30 seconds - 1 minute (shifting constantly). Pour in the Savanna Neat and cook until almost all evaporated, 30 seconds - 1 minute (shifting constantly). Pour in the sweet orange sauce and simmer until reduced and thickened, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season, remove from the heat, cover and set aside.
PERFECT PORK
Season the pork belly pieces. Return the pan to medium heat (the pork will cook in its own fat). When hot, sear the pork pieces until crispy, golden brown, and cooked through, 8-10 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside to rest before slicing and lightly seasoning.
MMMAYO
In a small bowl, loosen the mayo with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.
