- 2 lbs pork belly, skin scored
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

3. Place the pork belly on a roasting rack in a baking dish and roast for about 2.5 hours until tender.
4. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and roast for an additional 20 minutes to crisp up the skin.
