Cajun-style Grilled Pork Belly
Ingredients
Preparation
In The Oven
- Place oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 110 °C (225 °F).
- In a bowl, combine all powdered spices, pepper and salt. Rub mixture onto meat using your hands so flavours penetrate. Sprinkle any remaining spice mixture over meat.
- In a large oven-safe dish, add veal stock and meat. Cover and seal with foil. Bake for 10 hours.
- At the end of cooking, remove meat from cooking juices and place in a slightly smaller dish, squeezing it in. Cover with food-safe plastic wrap and add weight to press. Leave in refrigerator overnight. Recover cooking juices, remove fat and reduce over medium heat until syrupy. Set aside and adjust seasoning.
- The next day, preheat barbecue to high.
- Warm gravy. Cut meat into 1¼-cm (½-in.) slices and grill for 2 minutes per side.
- Place 3 to 4 slices of grilled pork belly on a plate with a little gravy, a lemon wedge and your choice of side.
