Method

Cooking Pork Belly

Prepare the Pork Belly

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, brown sugar, cumin, and smoked paprika to create a rub. Rub this mixture all over the pork belly.

Roast the Pork Belly

Place the pork belly on a baking tray, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy. Check periodically to ensure it doesn't dry out.

Rest and Slice

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the pork belly rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing it into cubes.
