Cherry Pecan Glazed Pork Belly

Cherry Pecan Glazed Pork Belly

​When I got called to the stage at the world food championships for ribs, I was very excited and happy, but I wasn’t surprised.  I had spent all summer winning awards for my ribs including taking home first place at the Montana state rib championships.  I know you’re wondering, what does this have to do with pork belly?  Well, my recipe for ribs was a cherry pecan glazed rib, and it turns out that flavour combination works on all sorts of different pork cuts.  So here I am going to teach you how to take pork belly and make it sing with the same flavours I used at the world rib championships.

Pork Belly Burnt Ends

Pork Belly Burnt Ends

Pork belly is what bacon is made out of, but it is not bacon. Bacon is cured meat and pork belly is the uncured version. This recipe is to make little pork dice that will melt in your mouth while also being jam packed with flavour. These little cubes are fatty and flavourful, so make sure to fast in advance or spend some extra time on the treadmill. Pork belly contains about 50% fat, so the goal here is to render down some of that fat to soften each bite but also to cook the meat and apply enough smoke to make them dance across your taste buds.
