Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly and season generously with salt and black pepper. Place the pork belly in a roasting pan and cover it with guava paste.
Roast the Pork
Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy. Baste with the drippings occasionally.
Cook the Sweet Potatoes
While the pork is roasting, peel and cube the sweet potatoes. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns brown. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the Bourbon & Vanilla Pears
Slice the pears and cook them in a saucepan with bourbon and vanilla extract until softened, about 10 minutes.
Serve
Slice the pork belly and serve it with brown butter sweet potatoes, braised chard, and bourbon & vanilla pears.
