Roasted Stuffed Pork Belly Roulade

Craving for our roasted pork belly “lechon” while living in another country or while under quarantine? I created my roasted stuffed pork belly roulade recipe out of similar longing for our “lechon” while living in the UK since 2002. In celebrations or a time of good meal for the family, this is a fine dish we can share with the people who mean the most to us.
