my neice in law boiled it first in chinese spices the put in a slow oven for a few how and it was the best I had ever tasted, the only spice I can remember was star anise, I have two peices in the freezer so might try the Anabelle Langbein recipe it seems to be popular
I, too use the italian method as done by Annabel Langbein. The only thing I found with it was that the crackling was beautifully crispy until the milk was added. I cooked as per her method, then removed from the milk and popped under the grill to re-crisp the crackling.

Can't beat this, although I use stock in the roasting dish and rub underside of pork with either hoisin sauce or plum sauce.
If you like Chinese food you can cook it "Long braised style" with soy sauce and sugar. Have recipe if interested.

Sweet Pork Belly with Black Vinegar
(to serve 3 - 4 with plain steamed bok choy/tatsoi/broccoli and steamed rice)
1 kg piece of pork belly with skin, preferably boneless 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp caster sugar 1 tsp Shaoxing wine 4 tsp light soy sauce 5 tab peanut oil 2/3 c palm sugar 8 tab Chinkiang vinegar (black vinegar) 8 spring onions big bunch coriander
Mix together the salt, caster sugar, Shaoxing, soy sauce and 1 tab of the oil. Slice the pork belly in 3cm slices and marinate in the mixture at least 2 hours or overnight.
Remove pork from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
In a lidded wok, large saute pan or saucepan heat the rest of the oil over a high heat. Fry the pork in batches to brown well on all sides. Be careful as the skin might spit. Return pork to pan, lower heat, add sugar, vinegar and 750 ml water. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer 1 1/2 - 2 hours until the pork is tender and the skin soft. Check liquid level occasionally but there should be plenty.
When the pork is tender remove to a warm serving dish, cover and keep warm in a low oven. Pour the liquid into a jug and leave for 10 min for fat to rise. Remove fat, return liquid to pan and boil hard to reduce to about 1 1/2c of syrupy sauce.
Slice spring onions thinly and chop coriander roughly.
Pour sauce over pork, pile spring onions and coriander on top to serve.

THIS ONE!DEVINE Crispy Pork Belly Preheat oven to 240c. Pat skin of 1-1.2kg piece pork belly dry and season the flesh side with ground black pepper and 1/2tsp salt. Sprinkle 2-3 sage leaves on the bottom of a baking dish and put the pork on top, skin side up. Season the top with 1/2tsp salt. Roast 20-30 minutes @ 240c, until starting to blister and crackle,watch closely for burning. Pour 2-2 &1/2 c milk around the meat to come up 1/2- 2/3 of the way up the sides of the pork. Reduce heat to 160c and roast a further 1 &1/2 hours or until the meat is meltingly tender. Check the level of the liquid during cooking and if it has evaporated, add a little more to the pan. Remove the pork from the oven and dish, allow it to cool. Discard the liquids (which break into curds) For easy cutting, place the meat flesh side up on a chopping board and use a heavy , sharp knife to cut into slices 3-4 cm thick. Serve warm.
