Pork Belly
Spicy Dipping Sauce
Method
Preparation of Pork Belly
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- 2
Prepare the Pork Belly
Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. This helps the fat render and creates a crispy texture.
- 3
Season the Pork Belly
Rub the pork belly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring the seasoning gets into the scored skin.
- 4
Roast the Pork Belly
Place the pork belly on a roasting rack in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the skin. Roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
- 5
Crisp the Skin
Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) and roast for an additional 30 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- 6
Rest the Pork Belly
Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
