This is one of my favorite dishes to make when I want something delicious without fussing around too much in the kitchen. Pork belly slices are wonderfully affordable and cook up beautifully with this sticky, savory glaze that comes together in minutes. The combination of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of brown sugar creates this amazing caramelized coating, while the garlic and mustard add real depth. Plus, pork belly contains selenium and B vitamins that support your metabolism and energy levels. Once you've mixed the sauce and got everything in the oven, you can forget about it for nearly two hours while dinner practically makes itself. It's comfort food at its finest, and honestly, it tastes far more impressive than the minimal effort it requires.

Remove the foil and turn the grill to its highest setting. Grill the meat for 3-4 mins, turning it halfway and brushing over the sauce from the tin, until the sauce is thick and sticky and the slices are charred. Alternatively, put the braised slices on the barbecue and baste in the sauce from the roasting pan as they sizzle away. Serve in buns with coleslaw.
