Wondering what to have for dinner tonight? Try our Salt and brown sugar rolled pork belly! Here we have it with Brussel sprouts and Cauliflower purée. For the pork: preheat your oven on normal to 270 and slow cook uncovered for 3 hours, then increase the temperature to 420 for 10-15 minutes to crisp the belly skin! ... For the cauliflower purée: Melt an ounce of butter in a small pot then add half of your cauliflower broken into small pieces, sauté for 30 seconds the add enough milk barely cover the cauliflower. Cook on high until the milk has reduced to half and the cauliflower is super soft. Transfer to a heat proof blender and blend until smooth, adding more butter until you get a lovely creamy consistency! Season with salt and pepper.
