Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pork belly with salt and black pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast for about 2-3 hours until tender. Once done, let it cool slightly and slice into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Fry the Pork Belly

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Add the sliced pork belly and cook until crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Green Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Optionally, season with a little salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the multi-grain bread slices. Spread a generous layer of garlic herb cheese on one side of each slice. Layer the crispy pork belly, green tomato slices, and a handful of spring mix on top. Top with another slice of bread.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pork Belly BLT!
