Slow-Braised Pork Belly with Crispy Roasted Vegetables
A comforting dish featuring tender, slow-braised pork belly paired with a medley of crispy roasted vegetables. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors of the pork contrasted with the natural sweetness and crunch of carrots, Brussels sprouts, and red onions.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Pork Belly
1 medium Carrot
1 cup Brussels Sprouts
1/2 cup Red Onion
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Score the skin of the pork belly lightly and season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a heavy, oven-safe pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork belly on all sides until browned.
Add crushed garlic and thyme sprigs to the pot. Pour in a splash of water or low-sodium broth if desired to help with braising.
Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Slow braise the pork belly for about 1.5 hours until tender and flavorful.
While the pork is braising, prepare the vegetables. Chop the carrot into sticks, halve the Brussels sprouts, and slice the red onion into wedges.
Toss the vegetables with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven (you can use a separate rack) for 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy on the edges and tender inside.
Once done, slice the pork belly into portions. Plate with a generous serving of crispy roasted vegetables and enjoy your meal.
