Whisk together the mustard, vinegar and sunflower oil to make the Dijon dressing
Cut the Roscoff onions in half and char with a blowtorch. Place in a vacuum bag with a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and seal tightly in a vacuum chamber. Place in the microwave on full power for 3–4 minutes depending on size of the onions. Allow to cool
Slice the banana shallot finely on a mandoline. Dip the rings in flour, followed by the beaten egg and finally into the breadcrumbs. Fry in the deep-fryer until golden brown and crispy
To cook the grelot onions, place the water in a pan with the butter and bring to the boil to make an emulsion. Cook the grelots in this liquor for 2–3 minutes
Cut the pork belly into thick slices and remove the skin. Pan-fry in oil until nicely caramelised ensuring it is heated through

Peel the Roscoffs into layers and drop into the emulsion at the last minute to heat through

To serve, place a slice of pork onto the centre of each plate and arrange the pea tartare, grelot onion and Roscoff onions around. Finish with the shallot rings
