Deliciously fatty and savory pork belly chunks, slow-cooked until tender, then seared to a perfect crisp. A satisfying, hand-held bite, packed with flavor.
Ingredients
4 servings
Skinless pork belly1 kg
Sea salt2 tsp
Black pepper1 tsp
Garlic powder1 tsp
Smoked paprika1.5 tsp
Cayenne pepper0.5 tsp
Beef tallow2 tbsp
Method
1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2
Cut the pork belly into 2-inch cubes. Pat them very dry with paper towels.
3
In a bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Toss the pork belly cubes with the spice mixture until evenly coated.
4
Arrange the seasoned pork belly cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ideally with a wire rack underneath to allow fat to drip.
5
Roast in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork belly is very tender and much of the fat has rendered.
6
Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it cool slightly. Discard any rendered fat if desired, or save for other cooking.
7
Heat the beef tallow in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
8
Once the tallow is hot, add the pork belly cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to work in batches.
9
Sear the pork belly for 3-5 minutes per side, until deeply golden brown and crispy on all sides.
10
Remove from the pan and serve hot. These are fantastic on their own for a satisfying, crispy bite.
