Ingredients: 1.5 lb skin-on pork belly (4-5 inches thick); 4 cups water; 3 tablespoons kosher salt; 2 tablespoons caster sugar; 2 stalks lemongrass, bruised; 4 cloves garlic, crushed; 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced; 6 black peppercorns; 1/3 cup tamarind paste; 3 tablespoons honey; 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced fine; 1 tablespoon fish sauce; 1 tablespoon soy sauce; fleur de sel and cracked black pepper to finish

A stunning centerpiece: a thick slab of pork belly is brined gently, then roasted low and slow until the fat renders to silken velvet and the meat is spoon-tender. It's finished with a glossy tamarind and ginger glaze that adds depth and complexity without overshadowing the pork's richness.
