Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Rub the pork belly with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Roast the Pork Belly
Place the pork belly on a rack in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
Prepare the Curried Garbanzo Bean Purée
While the pork is roasting, combine the garbanzo beans, coconut milk, curry powder, cardamom pods, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve
Once the pork belly is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice into pieces and serve over the curried garbanzo bean purée. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
