Pork Belly - losblanos1 - 08-12-2012 I went down to my new favorite Asian supermarket today to pick up a beef tenderloin for tonights dinner (3.95 lbs for $19.71, $4.99 a pound) when I noticed that they have pork belly, I bought a small 1 1/2 pound slab. Now what do I do with it? I found a recipe online from Gordon Ramsey called pressed pork belly that looks delicious. Does anyone have a favorite recipe? Re: Pork Belly - labradors - 08-12-2012 Blane, try Jean's Slow Roasted Belly of Pork with Hoisin Sauce. That's what I tried with the first pork belly I got and it was FANTASTIC! One that I'd like to try, someday is Twice Cooked Pork Belly with Apple Slaw and Steamed Fragrant Rice - a recipe from a contestant on the 2011 season of MasterChef Australia. Re: Pork Belly - Gourmet_Mom - 08-12-2012 You are going to love it, Blane! Re: Pork Belly - cjs - 08-12-2012 Oh another monster is being created!! time to get a smoker, Blane and make some bacon from pork belly!!!!! I have some more that I like, but I'll have to do some later.......... have fun. Re: Pork Belly - pjcooks - 08-12-2012 Just checked it out and I think Picky will actually eat this! Thanks! PJ Re: Pork Belly - losblanos1 - 08-12-2012 I discovered pork belly in Mexico at a restaurant called Café de Artistes in Puerto Vallarta. I really was pushing my boundaries when I ordered the pork belly salad with quail egg. Even I laugh at myself over that now. I'm learning. Jean, I'm looking into getting a smoker. This salad was so delicious, that's why I remembered the pork belly. That's the only time that I had it. This is back in 2009. Re: Pork Belly - Gourmet_Mom - 08-12-2012 Doesn't that look yummy! I can still remember everybody trying to convince me to add the raw egg into that Cajun Pasta dish a few years back. Then there was the sandwich with the poached egg...that took a little coaxing, too...LOL! Shoot, I just got over the medium rare tuna just today. I'm getting there, one little food hurdle at a time. And you're right! I laugh at myself every time! Re: Pork Belly - cjs - 08-12-2012 And, Jacques Pepin's pasta dish topped with an egg. to die for!!!! Re: Pork Belly - Harborwitch - 08-12-2012 The grounds super here is a delightful young man who is just discovering food! Last night we were discussing pork belly & bacon. He wants to help Bob and I with the bacon project. He loves to smoke and grill and grilled kabobs for us last night. I have totally destroyed this kid's vision of food. Hates beets - LOVED the beet pizza. Ate sauteed beet greens with a goat cheese "crouton", two more foods he'd never even thought to eat. He's discovered much more variety in food. Saturday we're making a "Fattie"! Re: Pork Belly - Gourmet_Mom - 08-12-2012 Not destroyed! You've educated his palate. That's a good thing! Oh, the fattie is going to blow his mind! I'm scared to make it again....LOL! That thing can kill you with cholesterol..LOL! But it sure is good! Totally worth it!
