Crispy Pork Belly With Sriracha Recipes

CRISPY PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Season pork belly all over with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Wrap pork in parchment paper; wrap a second time in aluminum foil, and a third time in another sheet of aluminum foil. Place pork packet in a baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender for 6 hours. Let cool in wrappings to room temperature; place cooled packet in refrigerator and chill for 8 hours or overnight.
• Unwrap chilled meat. Save any rendered fat that falls away when unwrapping pork.
• Cut meat into 6 equal-size portions. Cut 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch slashes in the fat-side of the pork. Season with salt.
• Heat 2 tablespoons reserved pork fat in a skillet over medium heat. Place pork belly, fat side down, in hot fat; cook until well-browned on all sides and heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork belly to a plate, drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper.

CRISPY PORK CHOPS WITH SRIRACHA BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the Brussels sprouts and red onion in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast, without stirring, until tender and charred in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, honey, Sriracha and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and brush the mustard on both sides. Toss the panko with 1 tablespoon parsley, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper on a plate. Press both sides of the pork chops in the mixture to evenly coat. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Reduce the heat to medium if the crust gets too dark.)
• Add the roasted vegetables to the honey-Sriracha sauce and toss to coat. Serve with the pork chops. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
