Pork Belly in kitchen oven.

[Donw]

It has been pouring down rain here for several days and I have a pork belly I need to cook indoors only.
Which way do you prefer cooking your pork belly in the kitchen oven: Roasted or Braised? Any recipes appreciated using ingredients from a well stocked pantry but I’m not making a trip to the store for any special ingredients. Thanks.

Porchetta. Something like this... https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/...recipe-2109862

NOTE - I'd only do this if the belly is relatively meaty.

An alternative is to braise it in something intensely flavored and then slice it and fry.

tons of ideas here, too: https://www.seriouseats.com/search?q=pork+belly

Made this a few times and it's really good. No need to leave overnight, I haven't.

Thank you.

I cook them in fat all the time. I didn’t read the links above.

I add shallots, garlic, peppercorns, star anise, whole cloves, bay and a bunch of fresh thyme to duck fat or whatever "mother" fat I have going in the cooler.

for the belly i score the fat side, I salt it well, and add a little cinnamon to both sides.

I wrap it well fire it at 375 for 30 minutes to melt and heat the fat then down to 300° for 3 hours. That about perfectly cooks the belly for my use.

Also this is a whole belly. Let it cool a bit then strain the fat and use it again for your next belly.

im not sure how you are using it but I cube it about 1 inch or so and toss in seasoned corn starch, deep fry, salt it then toss it in a mixture of good maple syrup/togerashi .

hope this helps.

I make this at least monthly - https://www.justonecookbook.com/brai...-belly-kakuni/

Thank you. I ‘ll save and try this another time as I don’t normally stock some of the items listed in the recipe. But it does sound delicious.

Donw - We cook lots of Japanese dishes and keeping a basic Japanese pantry is fairly simple. We are also blessed to have a good Asian grocery store about a mile from our house. Enjoy.

Just use the oven instead of a pellet grill
