Recipe
Ingredients
For the Pork Belly:
- 2-3 lbs pork belly, skin-on
- 2 tbsp jerk seasoning rub
- 2 tbsp all-purpose seasoning
For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp jerk marinade (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Score the skin of the pork belly with a sharp knife, making shallow cuts about 1 inch apart. This helps the marinade penetrate the meat and allows the skin to crisp up during roasting.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the jerk seasoning rub and all-purpose seasoning. Rub the mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring it's evenly coated. Allow the pork belly to marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
4. Place the marinated pork belly in a roasting pan, skin-side up. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
5. Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until it is fork-tender and the skin is crispy. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the foil to allow the skin to crisp up further.
6. While the pork belly is roasting, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, mustard, honey, jerk marinade, and dried thyme. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more honey or jerk marinade for sweetness or spice, if desired.
7. Once the pork belly is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the sliced pork belly with the homemade sauce drizzled over the top, or on the side for dipping.
9. Enjoy the tender and flavorful Slow Roast Pork Belly with its crispy skin and delicious sauce, a true delight for any pork lover!
This Slow Roast Pork Belly recipe offers a perfect balance of spices and flavors, making it a crowd-pleasing dish that is sure to impress. Whether served as a hearty main course or as part of a festive feast, it's bound to be a hit at any gathering.
