Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Roast the Pork Belly
Place the pork belly in a roasting pan, skin-side up. Roast for about 2-2.5 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.

Cook the Sausage
While the pork belly is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Figs and Cheese
In a bowl, combine the chopped Black Mission figs with the shredded Manchego and Mozzarella cheeses. Mix well to combine.
