Belly Pork

[EcclesCake]

How do you do yours?

Maillard method?
Boned rolled and stuffed?
Skin cooked separately?
Quick grilled strips?
Who the flippin' hell eats belly pork?
Another way?

Belly pork was a cheap and cheerful meal when I was a kid and Mr Cake and I share traumatic memories of what our Mothers served!

Do you enjoy and embrace this cut?

This isn't a flippant post.....it is sneaky research.....please share.

Love it cooked any way. One of the best is Gok Wans Twice cooked melting pork.(from the book Gok cooks Chinese)

Lol @ Chewn!

I remember seeing Gok's recipe....might give it a go soon!

[ummmm]

I quite like fat on meat but belly pork is a step too far for me.

Send it here! I only like fatty pork...and crispy chicken skin. Mmmmm.

I love belly pork but cheat and buy it ready to shove in the oven from Waitrose..............it's certainly not cheap.

[NoMercy]

I buy it cooked and piping from the hot counter in Morrisons.

If there's any non-crispy, slimy fat, I just cut it off and eat the rest.

Belly pork used to be a cheap meal for us.I still cook it slowly with the skin rubbed withoil and salt for the crackling, served with apple sauce lovely.
I have a piece in the freezer which I will now thaw for tomorrow's dinner.

Why did someone have to bring up the subject of belly pork tonight,now my mouth is watering and all I had was remains from the weekend as I've been out all day. Just going to defrost some for tomorrow.
