Add garlic & thyme to pan, resting the scored pork belly on top
Pour about 1/2 bottle of wine around the belly
Cover with foil
Cook for 2 hours in oven

Remove pork from baking pan

Make the gravy by first deglazing with the rest of the white wine
Reduce, add chicken stock, reduce again then sieve into bowl
Cover and put gravy in fridge

Get two trays (I used two glass pans) and press together

Weigh down with heavy cans, or use foil-covered bricks
Cold-press in fridge for at least 6 hours

Remove weights and top pan (carefully)
