This oven-baked pork belly curry is a one-tray wonder. If you can't find snake beans, blanch some regular green beans instead.

4 sprigs pickled peppercorns
steamed rice, to serve
300g bunch snake beans, blanched, to serve

Step 2
Add the curry paste, tamarind, coconut sugar, coconut milk, makrut lime leaves and peppercorns and mix to combine. Return to the oven and roast for a further 15 minutes.
