Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C, and light the barbecue. Wrap each of the potatoes in a double layer of tin foil. As soon as the charcoal in the barbecue starts to glow red, put the potatoes among the coals using barbecue tongs, raking them over the potatoes so they are partially buried. Cook for 20 minutes, turn over the potatoes and cook for a further 10 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the coals and set aside for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the pork belly slices on a tray and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Combine the maple syrup and soy sauce, brush over the pork and put on the barbecue for 3-4 minutes each side, until crisp, golden and cooked through. Leave to rest for 5 minutes, then cut into small chunks.
Halve the potatoes and divide the crème fraîche and pork chunks between each. To serve, drizzle over a little sriracha and garnish with the rocket or any salad leaves you have.

Tip: No barbecue? Use the oven. Roast the unwrapped spuds for 40-50 minutes. Put the pork in a foil-lined tin and cook for 20 minutes, then brush with the maple and soy and cook for a further 10 minutes.
