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?

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.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

You are going to love it, Blane!

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. ▼
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!

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"!
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
