Fresh Side Pork

[TdeV]

I've just put in an order for Fresh Side Pork which I'll collect in a few days. How do I cook it?

Think "pork belly".    I'd score skin, if it comes with it, rub with salt and seasoning, slow roast for a couple of hours at, say, 250-275F.    Maybe elevate on a rack in the pan and add a cup of wine/water to pan.     Cover very loosely foil to control spatter, i.e., just lay a sheet of foil over the piece.  .

 

eta, and/or slice some  into, say, 3/8" slices and cook on a grill.    We had this in France as a sandwich on fresh baguette, advertised as Sandwich de Lard.   Divine!
