Instructions
- Slice the Pork belly into uncured bacon slices
- I like to select some mushrooms that have some bulk to them so they dice well.
- Fry in a hot pan, you will render out a lot of the fat. You'll probably have to do it in 2 or 3 batches.
- Meanwhile you can dice the mushrooms to a 1cm dice.
- Once the uncured "bacon" is crispy reserve it for a garnish and throw in the diced mushrooms to soak up the rendered pork fat. And fry until golden.
- Add thyme and crushed clove of garlic.
- Add the Hambone stock and reduce until about half the volume.
- Wash the warrigal greens, and Microwave them for a minute to wilt them (and reduce the oxalates in them). then rinse them again and slice them into 1cm wide slices. Add them to the soup.
- Dish out the soup and lay the reserved crispy bacon on the top.
