Steps:
- Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 2. Season the pork belly all over with salt then put it, the peppercorns, thyme, bay and fennel seeds in a deep roasting tin. Pour over the cider, then top up with water until the pork is submerged. Cover with foil and cook for 6 hrs.
- Remove from the oven and leave the pork to cool until you can touch it easily, around 10 mins, then lift from the liquid and use cling film to roll the pork as tightly as you can, then leave to cool completely in the fridge overnight.
- Mix all the ingredients for the watermelon salsa together and season. Set aside.
- Slice the pork belly into eight 1-2cm rounds and place, flat-side down. in a lightly oiled frying pan, cook until golden, 1-2 mins, then turn over and repeat so both sides are nicely crisped, even in colour and the pork is hot throughout.
- To serve, spread 1 tbsp of bbq sauce over each flatbread, top with the crisped pork belly and finish with a spoonful of the salsa.

PORK SHOULDER WITH PEACH-MELON SALSA
Pork shoulder is a very forgiving cut, which is why chef Howard lets it cook while she's at the beach for a satisfying dinner afterward. The juicy summer fruit salsa is essential to brightening the smoky, cumin-rubbed meat.

Steps:
- Pork, part 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a bowl, add the salt, cumin, and brown sugar and stir to combine. Rub mixture all over the pork, making sure to use all of it. Place the pork fat-side up into a Dutch oven. Cover, place in the oven, and cook for 4 hours.
- Salsa: Place watermelon on a flat work surface. Slice off the top and bottom so they're flat; then place melon upright. Cut along the edge of the watermelon from top to bottom to remove rind; repeat all the way around until the rind is completely removed. Dice watermelon by cutting into ½-inch slices; stack slices and cut into ½-inch strips. Then cut the strips into a ½-inch dice. Place 2-3 cups of watermelon into a bowl and set aside. (Reserve remaining watermelon for another use.)
- Cut peaches into a ½-inch dice. Place 2-3 cups of peaches into the bowl with the watermelon and set aside. (Reserve any remaining peaches for another use.)
- Trim scallions, then thinly slice the green parts and add to the bowl. (Reserve white and light green part for another use.) Zest then juice limes directly into the salsa bowl; then add the chipotle peppers, mint, and salt. Stir well, then cover and let rest for 30 minutes to marry ingredients. Remove 30 minutes before serving. Makes about 5 cups salsa. (Note: Salsa will keep for up to two days in the refrigerator.)
- Pork, part 2: After 4 hours, raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F and remove the lid. Cook uncovered, 1 more hour.
- Assembly: Remove pork from Dutch oven and let rest, 10 minutes. Slice against the grain in 1-inch slices, cutting around the bone. (Alternatively, meat can be pulled from the bone.) Place meat on a serving platter and drizzle with some of the meat drippings from the pot. Serve with peach-melon salsa on the side.

Steps:
- For the salsa: Combine all ingredients in medium mixing bowl and chill until ready to serve.
- For the tenderloin: Use a sharp knife to trim tenderloin of any fat by removing as much of the silver skin as possible.
- Combine watermelon and jalapenos in a blender and puree, about 2 to 3 minutes. Strain mixture through fine sieve and return to blender. Add the salt, sugar and melon liqueur (if using) to blender and blend together, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of marinade for basting. Draw remaining marinade with syringe injector. Inject pork liberally with marinade. Sprinkle salt and pepper to cover pork. Let marinate while heating the grill.
- Remove pork from platter and place directly on the flame for direct heat. Roll the pork over the direct heat to give it grill marks. Remove pork from direct heat and place away from the flame to finish cooking. Baste with glaze every 10 to 15 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove from grill to platter and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into medallions and serve with Watermelon Salsa.
