Season & slowly roast for 2 hours at 170 degrees until tender.
Blanch the peas in boiling water, refresh & blitz in the thermo mix until smooth, adding diced cold butter to emulsify.
Pass through a chinois to remove the skins & season (save some whole peas to garnish).
Boil Maris Piper potatoes in salted water until soft, place through a ricer & finish with smoked butter to taste.
Pane the goats cheese in Panko breadcrumbs & deep fry until golden.
Swipe the pea puree across 2 plates, quenelle the smoked potato & place the pork belly on top, skin side up.
Garnish with the fritter, some blanched peas, pea shoots & a touch of reduced stock.
