Pork Belly
Stood around the meat counter-our go to butcher, too long, the other day.

Some troublemaker came up and asked if they could get pork belly for him too try. Nooo, we won't have to order, we have it in the cooler/freezer.

So dagnabit, please post your suggestions for pork belly. I just got back from vacation at the beach, with a stop at the Beststop in Lafayette. so their cracklins recipe or something similar is already on my mind.

Thick sliced and fry it till browned. Make brown gravy with the drippings and put over smashed boiled potatoes.



I'm alright it's the rest of the world that's all screwed up!

Crisp and Unctuous Pork Belly by Adam Perry Lang

Just do this. A whole belly can be cut in half, put in two foil pans and cooked stacked on a Large BGE. The key is crisping it up at the end, which is a do-not-walk-away exercise, but oh so good. I use one of those folding flat mesh grill basket thingies for that.

Seriously, this is incredible.

Done right, it will finish crispier than in his recipe picture. Something more like this:



I guess you could cook less than a whole one. But why?

I put some Kosher salt and course black pepper on it then on the Traeger about 8 - 12 hours set on smoke.

Once finished there, sliced in 1/2 inch thick slices, fried (in a cast iron pan of course), and then as sandwiches with lettuce and tomato. (PBLT sammich)

Very interesting I plan on giving this a try. Not sure why you would use the smoker with the pork belly in a pan and covered with foil. It's not getting any benefit of the smoke so I may just use the oven and finish on the smoker.
