Method

Preparation of Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Prepare Pork Belly

    Preheat your smoker or oven to 225°F (107°C). Cut the pork belly into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork belly pieces.

  2. 2

    Smoke or Bake

    Place the pork belly cubes in the smoker or on a baking tray in the oven. Smoke or bake for about 2-3 hours until they are tender.

  3. 3

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Once cooked, toss the pork belly in BBQ sauce and return them to the heat for an additional 30 minutes.

Brussels Sprouts Preparation

  1. 4

    Roast Brussels Sprouts

    While the pork belly is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden.

Citrus Balsamic Glaze

  1. 5

    Make the Glaze

    In a saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, citrus juice, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the glaze thickens, about 15 minutes. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    On a serving platter, arrange the roasted Brussels sprouts and top with the pork belly burnt ends. Drizzle with the citrus balsamic glaze and sprinkle with chopped macadamia nuts and sliced green onions.
