Pork Belly Preparation
Cure the Pork Belly
In a bowl, mix together kosher salt, brown sugar, black peppercorns, and smoked paprika. Rub this mixture generously all over the pork belly. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 5 days for curing.
Smoke the Pork Belly
After curing, rinse off the cure and pat dry. Smoke the pork belly at 225°F (107°C) until tender, about 3-4 hours. Let it cool, then slice into desired portions.
