Pork Belly and Toppings
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Rub the pork belly with salt and black pepper. Place it in a baking dish and roast for about 2.5 hours or until tender. Let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

Fry the Plantains
While the pork is roasting, peel the plantains and cut them into thick slices. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until they are golden, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Flatten the Plantains
Using the bottom of a glass or a plate, flatten the fried plantains gently. Return them to the hot oil and fry again until crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Assemble the Dish
On each crispy plantain, place a slice of the roasted pork belly. Top with a generous amount of curtido and drizzle with aji amarillo sauce. Serve immediately.
