To make the ricotta, mix all of the ingredients together, season well with salt and allow to drain overnight. If the ricotta is dry already, you won’t need to hang, you can use it straight away.
To make the pork belly, preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
Pound the garlic, lemon zest and fennel seeds together in a pestle and mortar and rub into the pork well.
Sit the pork on a wire rack in a roasting tray and add some water to the tray. Season the pork well with salt and roast for 30 minutes.
Turn the oven down to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 and cook for another 2 hours, squeezing the lemon juice over the skin halfway through.
Turn the oven back up to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 again and blister for the last 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
