Pork chops with crackling

Using a sharp kitchen knife, score the rind in a criss-cross diagonal pattern about 5 mm deep. Rub the rind with salt and leave to rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

Preheat the cooking space to 230 °C using the grill-forced convection mode.

Put the meat on a wire shelf in the top shelf position. Line a baking tray with baking paper and put in the middle shelf position. Insert the food probe into the thickest part of the meat and connect it to the cooking space. Cook for 20 minutes.

Reduce the heat to 120 °C and finish cooking at a food probe temperature of 65 °C.

Leave the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.

Pickled shallots

Bring all the ingredients up to and including the cornflour to a boil in a pan, cover with a lid and then simmer over a low heat for about 1 hour. Remove the lid and continue to simmer until the liquid has a syrupy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

Carve the meat. Sprinkle some fleur de sel on the cut surfaces and serve with the pickled shallots.
