Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat the 1.5 lb pork belly dry and score the skin in a crosshatch pattern. Rub with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Place pork belly skin-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes, until the skin is crackling and golden brown.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup chopped parsley until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 4
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into a pot of simmering water. Cook for 10 minutes, until they float and are cooked through.
Step 5
Slice the roasted pork belly and serve with the parsley dumplings and sliced tomatoes on the side.
Step 6
Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
