Hi y'all, I pray everyone has had a great Thanksgiving! Today we went to have Thanksgiving dinner at our son-in-law's parents' house. They did turkey, so we brought pork. 😃
I figured pork belly burnt ends would be good, provided I kept it in the normal vein of the day... That, to me, meant not going totally BBQ as usual, but spicing/herbing like a Thanksgiving stuffing would have. So, instead of pork rub using MMD, I coated the belly cubes in onion powder, garlic powder and salt, along with white pepper.
After 2 hours at 325 (using hickory pellets), into the aluminum pan they went, along with the seasonings I'd use for a stuffing base - onion, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme and parsley, along with some coarse black pepper, sauteed in butter and olive oil and with a half cup of chicken stock.
Ran covered in foil for two more hours, and packed up to head to the dinner. The vegetables all cooked down and caramelized wonderfully!
Pork belly this way was a great balance with the turkey. My taste buds and nose still aren't working 100 percent yet, so I can't say my call that it needed more pepper was accurate, but the family all seemed to enjoy it. 😃
Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
