Description

A recipe for crispy pork belly with a spiced plum sauce, perfect for dinner parties or family meals. This dish balances savory, crispy pork with a sweet and tangy plum sauce, complemented by roasted vegetables and a fresh salad.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 kg Pork belly
  • 4 cups Fresh or frozen plums
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 2 medium Carrots
  • 4 medium Potatoes
  • 4 cups Mixed greens
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium Cucumber

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pork: Dry the pork belly skin thoroughly with paper towels. Score the skin in a criss-cross pattern, ensuring not to cut into the fat.
  2. Sear Pork: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the pork skin side down and sear until the skin starts to bubble and fat renders, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Roast: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer pork to a roasting pan. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the skin is golden brown and meat is tender (internal temperature around 190°F/88°C).
  4. Make Sauce: While pork roasts, combine plums, sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger in a saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until plums break down and sauce thickens.
  5. Combine & Serve: Let pork rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with spiced plum sauce, roasted vegetables, and a green salad. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • The spiced plum sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and reheated.
  • Ensure pork skin is very dry before cooking for maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the roasting pan for even cooking.
  • If skin is not crispy enough, finish briefly under the broiler, watching carefully.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce if adapting.
  • Consider chicken thighs as a non-pork alternative.
