Free-range belly of pork is slow roasted for tenderness and succulence. It's great with new or roast potatoes and fresh organic vegetables.

2 onions
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp chipotle powder or cayenne
Cut the onions into quarters and place in the base of a Bake-O-Glide lined half size roasting tin. Place the meat on top of these. Mix the remaining ingredients together and rub into the meat.
2, 3 and 4-oven Aga: place in the roasting oven for 30 minutes until browned, then transfer to the simmering oven for 6-8 hours.
If necessary, return to the roasting oven for 20 minutes to crisp the crackling.
