Pork belly

[Flightstopper]

Apparently someone my wife works with is giving her some a few slabs of pork belly. Anyone know a way to cook it? Never even had it before besides bacon.

Bbq'd, broiled, pan seared, just think of it like a fatty chop.

Wow, I wish I had questions like this. If its mostly meat id score the skin side, season it liberally and fry it hot in cast iron mostly skin side. Just flip and cook the meat side for a bit to ensure full done. Actually probably start it out slow to render some fat to cook in. Then hot and fast. If its mostly fat I have no idea.

[Flightstopper]

Cool, I'll update when she actually gets it and how much fat is in it.

WTH Jehler. This is in your swing house. Where are ya?

[jehler]

Cover that shit is kosher salt and brown sugar and let it cure, then cold smoke it and make your own bacon, otherwise it makes a mediocre breakfast side

Explore the internet. Jehler is out of gas. Check out how french cooks use it. They do big time because it is prized. You can get it going tonight if its not just a blob of fat. Wheres the scrapple master AT?

Does it differ if it is me or my wife??

[assateague]

Yes. It's a cut of meat, not a pregnancy test strip, for God's sake.

You don't want your pork to taste fishy, do you???

I'd have to ask her how fishy pork taste before I can answer.

I can't speak from experience, but I think maple syrup might work just as well.
