Egyptians grew crops such as wheat, barley, vegetables, figs, melons, pomegranates and vines. They also grew flax which was made into linen. The most important crop was grain. The ancient Egyptians used grain to make bread, porridge and beer.
Remove the fennel from the oven, when it is tender and golden brown (this will take approximately 30-40 minutes). Squeeze over some lemon juice, then cover and set aside in a warm place. To finish the pork, turn the oven back up to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Cook the pork for another 20 minutes, or until the skin is very crisp. Slice the pork belly and serve the fennel alongside, sprinkling over the chopped reserved fennel fronds for garnish.
Re: pork belly slices. For a whole pork belly you don't have to braise it in water, I feel like that waters down the flavor. Place it in a roasting pan ontop of halved garlic heads with the seasonings you like. Cover with foil and roast for 2 hrs in a medium-low oven.asically, I was anticipating doing a pork belly recipe on sunday, sent the girlfriend out to get the ingredients and she came back with pork belly slices rather then one big piece. So do i go about cooking it in the same way.
