1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pork belly with salt and pepper. Place it in a baking dish and cook for 2 to 3 hours until tender. Let it cool and then slice it into pieces.
2
Cook the Bacon Gastrique
In a skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon and reserve the fat. Add honey and apple cider vinegar to the skillet and cook until it thickens slightly. Chop the bacon and stir it back into the sauce.
3
Sear the Scallops
Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
4
Plate the Dish
On a plate, arrange the seared scallops, top with crispy pork belly, and drizzle with the bacon gastrique. Garnish with chopped chives.
