Pork Belly Squares...any ideas?!?

[TrixiBuG]

I have had a pack of these in the freezer for a few weeks (from the website below - highly recommended btw meat fans) and I want to do something with them but I cant find any recipes...plus I have never cooked Pork before

La Cuisine can you help please?!?

You could just roast them with usual roast sides or mash.

Or this is superb.

The way I cook pork belly is to slow roast it at ~110 for ~six hours, let it cool, then press between two roasting tins in the fridge overnight. Then I re-heat in a frying pan or flash roast whenever I want to eat it. This thins the fat and skin and makes a very quick but tasty meal.

We have them with sweet & sour and some rice, goes down a treat if that is your sort of thing.

love belly pork. slow roast of 180 for 1.5 hrs and grill the rind seperate for ultra crispyness. last time i cooked it with 5 spice powder and soy sauce marinade i grilled it on medium heat for about 15 mins each side and it was lovely. 3/4 kg joint that was.

How bad for me is pork belly? I cooked one the other day at it was seriously yum, but I guess that's because of the masses of fat in it...

Give over!

You eat food like this for the taste, not the counting of calories! Man up!!

Cooking it renders out a lot of the fat, however I won't pretend it's turkey .

If you do some exercise, I see no reason why pork belly can't form part of your balanced diet .

I'm just surprised that it's still classed as a cheap cut, what with restaurants using it a lot now and its extreme tastiness.

It's not as cheap as it used to be! UK pork belly is a lot more than EU.

Honey/BBQ or my recent discovery salted caramel sauce!
Had Roasted belly pork chopped into squares and salted/peppered well.

Probably not the most Diet concsious effort but was damn tasty
