Remove the pork belly from the bag and place in a tray. Put another tray on top big enough to cover the belly, and place weights on top. Press in the fridge for a further 12 hours to set

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
  • 1 bunch of grelot onion
  • 50ml of water
  • 250g of salted butter
10
Double pod the peas and at the last minute mix with some of the sliced shallot, gherkins and dressing
11
Cut the pork belly into thick slices and remove the skin. Pan-fry in oil until nicely caramelised ensuring it is heated through
12
Peel the Roscoffs into layers and drop into the emulsion at the last minute to heat through
