Crispy Citrus-Garlic Braised Pork Belly
Enjoy a dish where succulent, crispy pork belly meets a burst of bright, citrusy flavor paired with aromatic garlic. This dish is gently braised to perfection with a hint of thyme, elevating the natural richness of the pork with a refreshing citrus glaze – a balanced plate that brings indulgence and vibrancy to your meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Pork Belly
1/2 cup Orange segments
2 Garlic cloves
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Score the skin of the pork belly lightly with a sharp knife. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped thyme leaves.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork belly skin-side down until it is crispy and golden, about 3-4 minutes. Turn and quickly sear the other side for another 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add minced garlic and allow it to sauté briefly until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Gently fold in the orange segments, allowing their juices to mix with the pork fat and garlic for a subtle citrus glaze. If needed, add a splash of water or low sodium broth to help in braising.
Cover the pan and let the pork belly braise for 8-10 minutes, ensuring the meat is cooked through and infused with the citrus-garlic flavors.
Once done, remove from heat and let the dish rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy this savory and vibrant dish as is, or pair with a side salad for a well-rounded meal.
