Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork

    Rub the pork belly all over with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure to get the seasoning into the scored skin.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Chop the onion into thin slices, and dice the pineapple into small cubes. Crumble the feta cheese and chop the cilantro finely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Roast the Pork Belly

    Place the seasoned pork belly in a roasting pan and roast it in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Pineapple and Onion Mix

    While the pork belly is roasting, heat a pan over medium heat and add the diced pineapple and sliced onion. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the onion is translucent and the pineapple is caramelized. Set aside.

  3. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Once the pork belly is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork belly topped with the pineapple and onion mix, crumbled feta, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
