Patchwork Pork Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Belly

   In a pot, bring water to a boil, add pork belly, and simmer for about 1.5 hours until tender. Drain and let cool. Once cooled, cut into pieces.

2. 2

   Braised Pork Belly

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork belly pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until crispy on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Grill the Pork Loin

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let rest before slicing.

4. 4

   Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

   Peel and dice the sweet potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. 5

   Sauté Brussels Sprouts

   Halve the Brussels sprouts and sauté them in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Prepare the Glaze

   In a small saucepan, heat the plum sauce until warm. Add a splash of pork jus to thin it out if necessary.

7. 7

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, spread a layer of mashed sweet potatoes, top with grilled pork loin, and crispy pork belly. Arrange sautéed Brussels sprouts on the side, drizzle with plum glaze, and finish with a drizzle of pork jus.

8. 8

   Garnish

   Sprinkle chopped pecans over the dish for added crunch and flavor.
