Ingredients

• 4 pork belly strips
• 2 tbsp light olive oil
• 5 tbsp dry cider

• 2 tsp mustard powder
• 1 tbsp cider vinegar
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6.
2. Season both sides of the pork belly strips and cook on a lightly oiled baking tray in the oven for 30 minutes.
3. Mix together all the remaining ingredients and set to one side.
4. Remove the pork from the oven after 30 minutes and cover both sides with the sauce.
