Method
1. For the marinated pork: put the onion, garlic, scotch bonnet, allspice, orange juice and thyme in a food processor and blend until smooth.2. Using a sharp knife, score the skin and fat of the pork belly. Place it on a roasting tray and pour over the marinade, rubbing it well into the pork and between all the scores in the skin and fat. Drizzle with the soy sauce or gravy browning and rub this in as well. Leave to marinate for 2 hours or, better still, overnight.
3. When ready to cook, place the pork in a preheated oven at 150-160C/130-140C fan/gas 2 and roast for 3 hours.
4. For the jerk sauce: place all the ingredient in a blender and process until smooth.
5. When the pork has finished roasting, fire up the barbecue. Use the bunch of thyme to brush the pork with some of the jerk sauce then lay the meat on the barbecue to caramelise and colour, brushing it with a little more sauce. Cook for 3 minutes on each side. Heat the remaining jerk sauce in a saucepan on the barbecue.
6. Remove the pork from the barbecue and leave it to rest for 10 minutes before carving it in thickly. Serve with
