How to prepare

Preheat your oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Lightly score the fat, making sure not to cut through to the flesh. Season generously. Place fat-side down in a cold frying pan and bring gently up to a medium heat. Fry for 6-8 mins until the fat is golden, spooning away excess fat as it gathers in the pan. Turn over and fry the flesh side for 2-3 mins before transferring to the oven for about 8 mins. Remove and allow to rest for at least 5 mins before serving. Cook for longer if you want them well done.

Storage

Keep refrigerated below 5C. Once opened use immediately. If not required immediately freeze as soon as possible and always within the use by date. Once frozen use within 1 month. Defrost in a fridge and use same day. Do not refreeze.
