BARBECUED PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Step 1: Remove the skin (also called rind) from the pork belly (if still on). Score both sides with a sharp knife, cutting a 1-inch crosshatch pattern with cuts 1/4 inch deep.

Mix well with your fingers. ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 3: Sprinkle the rub over the top, bottom, and sides of the pork belly, rubbing it into the meat with your fingers.

ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 5: Smoke the pork belly fat side up until bronzed with smoke and the internal temperature is 165 degrees. This will take about 3 to 4 hours. ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 6: You can serve the pork belly hot out of the smoker, but you'll get a better texture and flavor if you chill and reheat it. If using the second option, transfer the pork belly to a wire rack over a baking sheet and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until cold. The recipe can be made up to 3 days ahead. ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 7: Cut the chilled pork belly crosswise (against the grain) into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lightly season each slice on both sides with salt and pepper. ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 8: Meanwhile, set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high. Ideally, you'll be grilling over wood or will add some wood chunks to your fire. ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 9: Arrange the pork belly strips on the grate on the diagonal and grill until sizzling and browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. (Give each slice a quarter turn after 1 minute to lay on a crosshatch of grill marks.) Don't over-crowd your grill. The melting fat may cause flare-ups-so you want to leave yourself plenty of maneuvering room to dodge the flames. ShareTweetPin1K Shares

BBQ PORK BELLY STRIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °c).
• Whisk together the olive oil, salt and pepper, then brush the mixture onto both sides of the pork belly strips.
• Place pork belly strips on a baking tray and bake them for 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Baste the strips BBQ sauce. Then turn them over and baste the other side.
• Return to the oven another 10-15 minutes. When they are golden and bubbly and fat has become translucent, they are ready to remove from the oven. They may need more or less time depending on the thickness of the strips.
• Remove from the oven and serve with rice or your favorite side dish.

PORK BELLY SLICES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas mark 4. Dry the belly slices with kitchen paper, then season with salt and pepper. Mix together the ingredients for the sauce and toss the slices in the sauce in a roasting tin. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 1hr 30 mins, until completely tender.
• Remove the foil and turn the grill to its highest setting. Grill the meat for 3-4 mins, turning it halfway and brushing over the sauce from the tin, until the sauce is thick and sticky and the slices are charred. Alternatively, put the braised slices on the barbecue and baste in the sauce from the roasting pan as they sizzle away. Serve in buns with coleslaw.
