We are thrilled to have one of the recipes from Sabrina's new best-selling cookbook, Persiana Everyday to share with you.
"Pork belly slices are readily available and require much less faff thana whole pork belly. This is my twist on the classic roast pork with applesauce, but packing in a lot more flavour and giving every bite a stickyappeal that leaves you wanting more. It’s great served with rice, or in abun with pickled cucumbers." Sabrina Ghayour
