Pork Belly

Cheddar Grits

Sweet Mustard Drizzle

Method

Preparing Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Slicing and Seasoning

    Cut the pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Frying

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork belly cubes and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Making Cheddar Grits

  1. 3

    Cooking Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and 0.5 tsp of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 4

    Adding Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the cheddar cheese and butter until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Preparing Sweet Mustard Drizzle

  1. 5

    Mixing the Drizzle

    In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. Set aside.

Plating the Dish

  1. 6

    Assembling the Plate

    On a serving plate, create a bed of the cheddar grits. Top with the crispy pork belly cubes. Drizzle the sweet mustard mixture over the top. Serve immediately.
